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

injury.
b) Operations such as polishing is 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
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 grinding accessories
marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break and
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 controlled.

9
f) The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or
or collet of the power tool. 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) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums,
cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is
is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose
and be ejected at high velocity.
h) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use, inspect the accessory, such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose
or cracked wires. If the power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install 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.
Depending on application, use a face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye

generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protectit. Fragments of
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
k) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
during the start up. The reaction torque of the
motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the
tool to twist.
m) Use clamps to support the workpiece
whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece
in one hand and the tool in the other hand while
in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use
your hand(s) to control the tool. Round material, such
as dowel rods, pipes or tubing, have a tendency to
roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or
jump toward you.

11
n) 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.
o) 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.
p) After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck
or any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment devices can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control; loose
rotating components will be violently thrown.
at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
r) Regularly clean the power tools air vents. The
motors fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.

Further safety instructions for all operations
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, sanding band, 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.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, 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 the direction
of the wheels movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. The operator can control kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) 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.

13
c) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the
same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from
the material (which is the same direction as the
chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong
direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb
out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of
this feed.
speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always
have the work securely clamped. These wheels will
grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and
cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump
from the groove and you could lose control of the
tool.
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and only for recommended
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
b) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs,
use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an

size and length. Proper mandrels will reduce the
possibility of breakage.
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or snagging of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
d) Do not position your hand in line with or
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the
point of operation, is moving away from your hand,
the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly at you.
e) When the wheel is pinched, snagged or when
power tool and hold the power tool motionless
until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
while the wheel is in motion, otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
g) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimise the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near

15
the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
h) Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load to
the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light
b) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at
least one minute before using them. During this
time, no one is to stand in front or in line with
the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged
during the run-in time.
c) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire
brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire
fragments may be discharged at high velocity during
the use of these brushes and may become imbedded
in your skin.
