Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another too!.

in personal injury.
,/_ WARNING: tf any parts are missing, do not operate the tool until the missing I
parts have been replaced. Doing so could result in serious personal injury. i
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other).This plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
insulation eliminates the need for a three wire grounded
power cord and grounded power supply system. (See Fig. 1)
Avoid contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
................................,!.........................................
Fig.1 _:'
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
A wet power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool, or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A" or"W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or
electrocute.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors should be
used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Always use UL
and CSA listed extension cords.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed meta! parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from
broken wheel fragments.
Grinding wheels must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool
warning label, Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart
and cause injury.
Never leave adjusting wrench on the tool before turning the tool on.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON", before plugging the tool in, check that the trigger
lock is "OFF".
When starting the tool let it run for a few minutes before using on a workpiece.
Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced wheel.
When operating the grinder avoid bouncing the wheel. If bouncing occurs, stop
the too! and inspect the wheel.
Secure the material being grinded. Never hold it in your hand or across your hand
or across your legs.
Do not use damaged grinding wheel.
Do not use a worn out grinding wheel. This could result in a wheel explosion and
serious personal injury. A depressed center wheel should not be used after it has
been worn down to a 3-in. diameter,
Keep your hands away from rotating parts.
Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when grinding, especially
grinding over-head.
Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.
Do not touch the work-piece immediately after operation. It may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.

pointing away from you.
3. After starting the tool, apply the grinding wheel to the work piece.
Note: DO NOT turn the switch ON or OFF while the grinder is in contact with the
work piece, It will decrease switch life and could cause damage to the work piece.
Note: BE PREPARED for a stream of sparks when the disc touches metal.
4. Tilt the grinder to 10° to 15° angle for easy handling and smooth grinding.
This increases the removal capacity of the wheel and avoids unnecessary
overloading.
5. Apply the grinding wheel to the work surface with a light, steady pressure for
grinding efficiency. It should never be necessary to force the tool. The weight of the
tool applies adequate pressure.
Excessive or sudden pressure will overload the motor, cause a drop in the speed
and put dangerous stress on the wheel causing breakage.
