Safety
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING
Warning
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool.
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 ammable 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.
Safety
Page 10
Safety
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. Unmodied 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.
Note: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the
term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)”.

Safety
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 inuence 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. Safety
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 nger
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.
Use hearing protection
Use eye protection
Use a dust mask

Safety
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Page 13
Additional Safety warnings
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander,
wire brush, polisher or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
b) Do not use accessories which are not specically designed
and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessories can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
c) 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 y apart.
d) 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.
e) The arbour size of wheels, anges, backing pads or any other
accessory must properly t the spindle of the power tool.
Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware
of the power tool will run out of balance. Vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
Safety
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter
may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
c) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Page 14
Safety
Additional Safety warnings
f) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear and wire brushes for loose or
cracked wires. If 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.
g) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application,
use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping ying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
h) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone
entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or of a broken accessory may y away and
cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.
i) Hold power tool only by insulated gripping surfaces, 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 tool “live” and shock the
operator.
j) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
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
Page 15
Safety
Additional Safety warnings
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 ammable 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) Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered
carcinogenic).
r) Take protective measures when during work dust can develop that
is harmful to one’s health, combustible or explosive (some dusts
are considered carcinogenic) wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip
extraction when connectable.

Safety
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 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 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 rm 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 the direction opposite
to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, shark edges etc. Avoid
bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, shark 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.
Page 17
Safety
Safety warnings specic for grinding and abrasive
cutting off operations
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool
and the specic guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded
that are unsafe.
b) 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.
c) Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of correct size and
shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel anges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-
off wheels maybe different from grinding wheel anges.
d) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel
intended for larger power tools is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
Page 18
Safety
Additional safety warnings specic for abrasive
cutting off operations
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not
attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating
wheel. When the wheel, at the point of the operation is moving away
from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until
the wheel comes a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate
the cause of wheel binding.
d) 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.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
f) 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.
