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.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
Additional Safety Rules for Tuckpointing
•
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.
•
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.
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.
•
The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of
the power tool. Accessories with arbor 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.
•
The shroud 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 shroud helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
•
Hold 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 shock
the operator.
•
Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely.
The side handle should always be used to maintain
control of the tool at all times.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
•
inspect the accessory such as diamond wheel for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear. 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.
•
DO NOT grind or cut metal with this shroud.
•
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 workpiece 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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
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.
•
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
•
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
•
DO NOT use bonded abrasive wheels. Only use
Diamond coated Type 1 wheels.
•
ALWAYS use with a dust collector. Dust collector
must provide at least 150 cubic feet per minute (cfm) of
airflow and have a filter with 99% or greater efficiency
for respirable particulate and a cyclonic pre-separator or
filter-cleaning mechanism.
•
Operate and maintain tool in accordance
with manufacturer's instructions to minimize
dust emissions.
WARNING: When not in use, place grinder
on a stable surface where it will not move
inadvertantly, roll or cause a tripping or falling
hazard. Serious personal injury may result.
