ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing parts/ accessories or
when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased chance
of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF switch on the tool. This will prevent an
accidental startup when the power cord is plugged into the power supply.
4. Do not alter any parts of the tool or accessories. All parts and accessories are designed with built-in safety
features that may be compromised if altered.
5. Make certain that power source conforms to requirements of your equipment.
6. When wiring an electrically driven device, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as the most recent
Canadian Electrical Code (CE) and Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
7. This device is only for use on 120V (single phase) and is equipped with a 3-prong grounded power supply
cord and plug.
8. DO NOT use this device with a 2-prong wall receptacle.
a. Choose an available 3-prong power outlet.
b. Replace 2 prong outlet with a grounded 3-prong receptacle, installed in accordance with the CE Code and
local codes and ordinances.
CAUTION! All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
POLARIZED PLUG
Double insulated tools eliminate the need for a three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Instead the tool is equipped with a polarized plug that requires a polarized outlet/power supply.
1. A polarized plug has two blades of different widths, allowing only one way to insert the plug into the outlet.
2. Reverse the plug if it does not fully fit into the outlet.
3. If the outlet does not accept a polarized plug, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.

V 2.2
POWER CORD
1. Insert the power cord plug directly to the power supply whenever possible.
a. Use extension cords or surge protectors only when the tool’s power cord cannot reach a power supply
from the work area (see below).
2. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged as an electric shock may occur, resulting in
personal injury/death or damage the tool.
a. Inspect the tool’s power cord for cracks, fraying or other faults in the insulation or plug before each use.
b. Discontinue use if a power cord feels more than comfortably warm while operating the tool.
c. Take the following steps if either of the above situations occur:
i. Tag or mark the tool as ‘defective’ or ‘out of service’ until repaired.
ii. Contact an electrician or qualified person to replace the power cord.
3. Prevent damage to the power cord by observing the following:
a. Never use the cord to carry the tool.
b. Do not pull the plug from an outlet by the cord.
c. Keep the power cord clear of the tool and the tool’s work path while in operation. The cord should always
stay behind the tool.
d. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
e. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over unprotected power cords.
i. Position power cords away from traffic areas.
ii. Place cords in reinforced conduits.
iii. Place planks on either side of the power cord to create a protective trench.
f. Do not wrap cord around tool as sharp edges may cut insulation or cause cracks if wound too tight.
Gently coil cord and either hang on a hook or fasten with a device to keep cord together when storing.
EXTENSION CORD
1. Never use an extension cord that doesn’t match or exceed the amperage rating of the tool. Using a cord that
is too long or an incorrect gauge could cause the following hazards:
a. Fire from overheating.
b. Electric shock from melting or damaging the cord’s insulation.
c. Under powering the tool causing a functional failure, resulting in personal injury or damage the tool.
d. A cord that is too long may create a hazard to others moving within the work area.
2. Use the tool without an extension cord whenever possible. Only use an extension cord as a temporary means
of reaching the power supply. Also unroll the cord completely to prevent it from overheating and damaging
the electrical insulation.
3. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked ‘W-A’ or ‘W’. These cords
are rated for outdoor use. They are constructed of more durable materials, and can withstand temperature
changes, UV light (sunlight) and moisture, reducing the risk of electric shock.
4. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, the use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock. It is recommended that the GFCI
should have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

LOW VOLTAGE
Low voltage may cause overheating due to higher power current being drawn to the tool that will
shorten the motor life.
An extension cord may cause a drop in power to the tool if too long or the amperage rating is not correct. This may
result in the following:
1. The tool will not activate when switched on.
2. The tool may switch on, but fails to maintain power when applied to a workpiece.
3. The tool may overheat, possibly starting a fire.
Test the tool by plugging it directly to the power supply. If it powers on, change the extension cord with the correct
rating and as short as needed. The workpiece may also need to be relocated closer to the power supply.
ELECTRIC POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Immediately switch off the power tool if any of the following occurs:
• Malfunction of the plug, receptacle or damage to the power supply cord.
• The switch or trigger is broken.
• User sees or smells smoke.

12. Do not allow persons who are not familiar with the tool or have not read these instructions to use the tool.
KICKBACK PRECAUTION
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or other accessory. The
edge of the wheel enters the pinch point and digs into the material, causing the wheel to climb out or kick out in the
direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation. Kickback may result in:
1. Serious injury to yourself or others.
2. Loss of control over the tool.
3. Damage to the tool or cut off wheel.
4. Damage to the workpiece.
Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the time of snagging.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. If kickback occurs, the wheel may pass over your hand
and cause serious injury. Use clamps or a vice to hold down the workpiece.
3. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges etc. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
4. Only use accessories designed for this tool.

3. Ne débranchez pas le cordon d’alimentation au lieu d’utiliser l’interrupteur d’alimentation MARCHE/
ARRÊT sur l’outil. Ceci permet d’éviter une mise en marche involontaire lorsque vous branchez le cordon
d’alimentation dans la prise électrique.
4. Ne modifiez aucune partie de l’outil ou des accessoires. Toutes les pièces et tous les accessoires sont
conçus avec des dispositifs de sécurité intégrés qui seront compromis s’ils sont modifiés.
5. Assurez-vous que la source d’alimentation est conforme aux exigences de votre équipement.
6. Au moment de câbler un appareil électrique, respectez tous les codes en matière d’électricité et de sécurité,
ainsi que les versions les plus récentes du Code canadien de l’électricité (CE) et du code du Centre canadien
d’hygiène et de sécurité au travail (CCHST).
7. Cet appareil ne doit être utilisé qu’avec un courant monophasé de 120 V et est muni d’un cordon
d’alimentation et d’une fiche à 3 broches.
8. N’utilisez PAS cet appareil avec une prise murale à 2 broches.
a. Choisissez une prise de courant libre à 3 broches.
b. Remplacez la prise à 2 broches par une prise à 3 broches mise à la masse, installée conformément au
Code de l’électricité, ainsi qu’aux ordonnances et aux codes locaux en vigueur.
ATTENTION ! Tout le câblage doit être installé par un électricien qualifié.
FICHE POLARISÉE
La double isolation des outils élimine le besoin d’un cordon d’alimentation à trois fils mis à la terre et d’un système
d’alimentation mis à la terre. Au lieu de cela, l’outil est équipé d’une fiche polarisée qui doit être branchée sur une
prise électrique polarisée.
1. La fiche polarisée comporte deux lames de largeurs différentes, ce qui ne permet l’insertion de la fiche dans
la prise que d’une seule façon.
2. Si la fiche ne s’insère pas complètement dans la prise, tournez-la.
3. Si la prise n’accepte pas la fiche polarisée, contactez un électricien qualifié pour faire installer
une prise polarisée.
4. Ne modifiez la fiche d’aucune façon car cela compromettrait les dispositifs de sécurité intégrés.

CORDON D’ALIMENTATION
1. Autant que possible, insérez la fiche du cordon d’alimentation directement dans la prise électrique.
a. N’utilisez des rallonges ou des limiteurs de surtension que lorsque le cordon d’alimentation de l’outil est
trop court pour atteindre la source d’alimentation depuis l’aire de travail (voyez ci-dessous).
2. N’utilisez pas cet outil si le cordon d’alimentation est effilé ou endommagé, car un choc électrique peut se
produire, ce qui pourrait causer des blessures, la mort ou des dommages à l’outil.
a. Avant chaque utilisation, inspectez le cordon d’alimentation de l’outil; vérifiez qu’il ne soit ni fissuré, ni
effiloché et que l’isolant et la fiche ne soient pas endommagés.
b. Arrêtez d’utiliser l’outil si le cordon d’alimentation est trop chaud au toucher.
c. Si l’une des situations décrites ci-dessus se produit, prenez les mesures suivantes :
i. Attachez sur l’outil une étiquette indiquant qu’il est défectueux ou ne fonctionne pas, jusqu’à ce qu’il
soit réparé.
ii. Contactez un électricien ou une personne qualifiée pour faire remplacer le cordon d’alimentation.
3. Pour éviter tout dommage au cordon d’alimentation, observez les précautions suivantes :
a. N’utilisez jamais le cordon d’alimentation pour transporter l’outil.
b. Ne tirez jamais sur le cordon d’alimentation pour enlever la fiche de la prise.
c. Maintenez le cordon d’alimentation à l’écart de l’outil et de la zone de travail de l’outil pendant son
utilisation. Le cordon doit toujours se trouver derrière l’outil.
d. Tenez le cordon à l’écart de la chaleur, de l’huile, des rebords coupants ou des pièces mobiles.
e. Veillez à ce que personne, ni aucun matériel mobile ou des véhicules n’écrasent les cordons
d’alimentation non protégés.
i. Disposez les cordons d’alimentation loin des zones de passage.
ii. Placez les cordons d’alimentation à l’intérieur de conduits renforcés.
iii. Placez des planches de chaque côté du cordon d’alimentation pour créer un couloir protecteur.
f. N’enroulez pas le cordon autour de l’outil car les bords tranchants risquent d’entailler l’isolant ou des
fissures peuvent se former sur le cordon s’il est enroulé trop serré. Enroulez délicatement le cordon et
suspendez-le à un crochet ou attachez-le sur un support pour qu’il reste enroulé pendant son rangement.
RALLONGE
1. N’utilisez jamais de rallonge dont la capacité ne correspond ou ne dépasse pas l’intensité nominale du
courant de l’outil. L’utilisation d’un cordon trop long ou d’un calibre incorrect pourrait causer
les dangers suivants :
a. Un incendie causé par la surchauffe.
b. Un choc électrique provoqué par la fonte ou l’endommagement de l’isolant du cordon.
c. Un manque de puissance de l’outil causant un dysfonctionnement, entraînant des blessures ou des
dommages à l’outil.
d. Un cordon qui est trop long peut causer un danger pour les personnes se déplaçant dans l’aire de travail.
2. Chaque fois que c’est possible, utilisez l’outil sans rallonge. Une rallonge ne doit être qu’un moyen
temporaire pour atteindre une source d’alimentation. Déroulez complètement le cordon pour éviter qu’il
surchauffe et endommage l’isolant.
3. Si vous utilisez un outil électrique à l’extérieur, utilisez une rallonge d’extérieur identifiée par « W-A » ou
« W ». Ces rallonges sont certifiées pour un usage extérieur. Elles sont construites en matériaux plus
durables, et elles peuvent supporter les changements de température, les rayons UV (lumière solaire) et
l’humidité, réduisant ainsi les risques de chocs électriques.
4. Utilisez avec un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (GFCI). Si l’utilisation d’un outil électrique dans un lieu humide
est inévitable, l’usage d’un GFCI réduit le risque de choc électrique. Il est recommandé que le GFCI possède
un courant résiduel nominal de 30 mA ou moins.
