General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in electric
Save all warnings and instructions for future use.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your main-operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter or dark areas invite accidents.
b)
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) or ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI ) protected supply.

have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjustment wrench or key before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing power tools. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidently.
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 misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
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 instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
5) Service

may cause loss of control.
7. Do not use damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel for chips or cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting or installing an accessory, position yourself or 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 time.

operation.
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.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you loose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your arm or hand
may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
12. 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.

disc or kickback.
17.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating backing pad which in turn causes uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the opposite
direction of the backing pad’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the work piece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
auxiliary handles, if provided for maximum control over kickback or torque reactions during start up. The operator can control
torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of the snagging.
4. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges
or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation
1. Empty the dust bag or dust collection receiver frequently. Do not leave residue in dust bag or dust collection receiver
unattended. Always empty in a non-combustible metal container. Sanding wood or varnish produces dust that can self ignite
and cause injury or damage. Follow this precaution for storage.
2. Set all exposed nails. Sweep loose abrasive away from work area. Do not strike metal pipes, ect., with sanding paper.
Striking metal or abrasive particles with sanding paper produces sparks that could ignite the sanding dust which can cause
injury or damage.
fasteners tight. Operating a partially assembled power tool could result in injury to the operator or bystander and could cause
damage to the equipment or surroundings.
4. Do not attempt to change the sanding paper while the power tool is running. The sanding pad can snag clothing and cause
injury to limbs and moving sanding paper can cause abrasions.
