GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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 instructionsfor future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) 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
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 toarotating 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.
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.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

21)Do not overload the power tool. Allow the power tool to run at full speed or close to full speed
during use
22)Never apply coolant directly to the grinding wheel. Coolant may deteriorate the bonding strength of
the wheel and cause it to fail.
23)Grinding creates heat. Never touch the workpiece until you are sure it has cooled sufficiently.
24)Never leave the power tool until the grinding wheels have come to a complete stop.
25)If an extension cord is required, use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the power tool’s plug. Use only an
approved extension cord suitable for the power input of this tool (see technical data). An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using a cord reel,
always unwind the cord completely. Fully unwind extension cords to avoid potential overheating.
Warning: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from lead-based paints,
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed tofilter out microscopic particles.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage and frequency given on the rating plate.
Remove the main plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment or servicing.

tool rests and runs freely.
2) Stand to one side,turn the switch on and allow the motor to reach full speed.
3) Support the workpiece on the tool rest and gradually feed the workpiece onto the wheel (See Fig 5).
Use pliers to hold small workpieces.
4) If the grinding operation causes the motor speed to noticeably decrease, pull back the workpiece,
allow the motor to regain full speed and restart the grinding operation, but apply less force.
Warning: To reduce the risk of injury, only use the front face of the grinding wheel, not the sides. Note
that the workpiece can get very warm. It may be necessary to cool a workpiece by dipping it in a coolant
or in water. Do not apply coolant or water tothe grinding wheel.
8. How to true and dressthe wheels
Dressing a wheel cleans and levels the front surface to increase efficiency of operation and prevent
vibration.
1) Dressing a wheel involves the use of a wheel dresser which is not supplied with the grinder. Follow
the manufacturers instructions of the wheel dresser.
2) Adjust the tool restto allow the front part of the wheel dresser to fit between the tool rest and wheel.
3) Start the motor and move the dresser across the front of the wheel a sufficient number of times until
the surface is level. It is not necessary to apply excessive force in an attempt to dress the wheel in one
pass of the wheel dresser.
4) Adjust the tool rest so that it is no more than 1.5mm from the wheel (See Fig 6).
