power tool before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety mea ures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-

ment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may

affect the power tool's operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool

bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-

tions, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

3.1 Safety Warnings Common for

Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing,

Polishing or Abrasive Cutting-Off

Operations:

a) This power tool is intended to function as a

sander or polisher. Read all safety warnings,

instructions, illustrations and specifications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

b) This electric power tool is not suitable for

grinding, wire brushing and cutting-off

operations. Operations for which the power tool

was not designed may create a hazard and cause

personal injury.

c) Do not use accessories which are not

specifically designed and recommended by the

tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory

can be attached to your power tool, it does not

assure safe operation.

d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at

least equal to the maximum speed marked on

the power tool. Accessories running faster than

their rated speed can break and fly apart.

e) The outside diameter and the thickness of

your accessory must be within the capacity

rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized

accessories cannot be adequately guarded or

controlled.

f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing

pads or any other accessory must properly fit

the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with

arbour holes that do not match the mounting

hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,

vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before

each use inspect the accessory such as

abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing

pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush

for loose or cracked wires. If a power tool or

accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or

install an undamaged accessory. After

inspecting and installing an accessory,

position yourself and bystanders away from

the plane of the rotating accessory and run the

power tool at maximum no-load speed for one

minute. Damaged accessories will normally break

apart during this test time.

h) Wear personal protective equipment.

Depending on application, use face shield,

safety goggles or safety glasses. As

appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing

protectors, gloves and workshop apron

capable of stopping small abrasive or

workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be

capable of stopping flying debris generated by

various operations. The dust mask or respirator

must be capable of filtering particles generated by

your operation. Prolonged exposure to high

intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

work area. Anyone entering the work area must

wear personal protective equipment. Fragments

of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away

and cause injury beyond immediate area of

operation.

j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact

hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory

contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal

parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

k) Position the cord clear of the spinning

accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut

or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into

the spinning accessory.

I) Never lay the power tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop. The

spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull

the power tool out of your control.

m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at

your side. Accidental contact with the spinning

accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the

accessory into your body.

n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.

The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing

and excessive accumulation of powdered metal

may cause electrical hazards.

o) Do not operate the power tool near

flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these

materials.
