GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. 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.
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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
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. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
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 a
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)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

CONCRETE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire brushing, Polishing or Abrasive Cut-Off
Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder. 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) Operations such as sanding, polisher, wire brushing or cutting-off are not recommended to be
performed with this power tool. 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) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange.
Accessories 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 a backing pad
for cracks, tears or excess wear. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or in-
stall 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 work piece fragments. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations . The dust mask or respirator must
be capable of filtrating 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 work piece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
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.
l) 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.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result
in electrocution or shock.
q) Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The side handle should always be used to main-
tain control of the tool at all times.
r) When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel, or a new or replacement wire brush
installed, hold 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. If the wire brush has loose wires, they will
be detected. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator.
s) Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not recommended and may be hazardous. Use of
power boosters that would cause the tool to be driven at speeds greater than its rated speed constitutes
misuse.
WARNING! This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

CONCRETE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS (cont.)
t) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
u) Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the
wheel for cracks or flaws.
v) Always handle and store wheels in a careful manner.
w) Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating action of this
tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take
frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.
x) Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
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 accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’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/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will
propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and cutting-off operations
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the
guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be
adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so
the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
NOTE: The above warning may be omitted for die grinders and grinders or cut-off grinders with rated
capacity of less than 55mm.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for
cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
