SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
GRINDERS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing or Cutting-Off Operations:
This power tool is intended to function as a
•
grinder, sander, wire brush, hole cutter or
cut-off
tool.
Read
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Operations such as polishing are not to be
•
performed with this power tool. Operations for
which the power tool was not designed may create
a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not convert this power tool to operate in a
•
way which is not specifically designed and
specified by the tool manufacturer. Such a
conversion may result in a loss of control and
cause serious personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not
•
specifically designed and specified 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.

must fit the dimensions of the mounting
hardware 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.
•
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, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or

workpiece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various applications. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by
the particular application. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
•
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
•
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
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.
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.
