WARNING READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Understand the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product.
Keep these instructions in a safe place
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Work Area
•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
•Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in and way.
•Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
•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 fully 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 the three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools 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.
Personal Safety
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
•Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
•Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

•Do not over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
•Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hardhat and
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
•Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•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. Poorly maintained
tools cause many accidents.
•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 tool.
Service
•Only qualified repair personnel must perform tool service. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
•When servicing a tool use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Additional Safety Rules For Grinders
•Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from broken wheel
fragments.
•Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and
other accessories running over their rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
•Once installed, check new or replacement wheels. Any undetected crack or flaw can be checked by
holding the tool in a well protected area and let it run for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected
crack or flaw; it should burst in less than one minute.
•Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

WARNING!
If any of the following events occur during normal operation, the power supply should be cut off at once and
the tool thoroughly inspected by a qualified person and repaired if necessary:
•The turning parts get stuck or speed drops abnormally low.
•The tool shakes abnormally accompanied by some unusual noise.
•The motor housing gets hot and/or odor present.
•Heavy sparks occur around the motor area.
Maintenance
WARNING -Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products penetrating oils, etc, to come in
contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy the housing, and thus
compromise the integrity of the double insulation.
•Inspecting the grinding wheel. Ensure that the grinding wheel is free of cracks and surface defects.
Replace the grinding wheel when it has been worn out.
•Inspecting the mounting screws. Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are
properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, tighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious injuries.
•Maintenance of the motor. The motor unit winding is the very“heart” of the power tool. Exercise
due care when you are near the brush holders.
•Replacing a carbon brush. Remove the carbon brush housing cap with a flat blade screwdriver. Take
old brush out and install new brush. Make sure the brush slides freely inside the brush housing do
not over-tighten the carbon brush housing cap.
•Only a qualified service technician using identical parts to ensure the integrity of double insulation
should do repairs.
