Safety Warnings Specific for
grinding operations
1.
use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool
and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not de-
signed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
2.
the guard must be securely at-
tached to the power tool and posi-
tioned for maximum safety, so the
least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. The guard
helps to protect operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental con-
tact with wheel.
3.
wheels must be used only for rec-
ommended applications.
4.
always use undamaged wheel
flanges that are of correct size and
shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding
wheel flanges.
5.
do not use worn down wheels
from larger power tools. A wheel
intended for a larger power tool is
not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
Vibration safety
This tool vibrates during use. Re-
peated or long-term exposure to vibra-
tion may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands,
arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of
vibration-related injury:

1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regu-
larly or for an extended period should
first be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check-
ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from
use. Pregnant women or people
who have impaired blood circulation
to the hand, past hand injuries, ner-
vous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud's Disease should not use
this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibra-
tion (such as tingling, numbness, and
white or blue fingers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.
2.
Do not smoke during use. Nico-
tine reduces the blood supply to the
hands and fingers, increasing the risk
of vibration-related injury.
3.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4.
Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice between dif-
ferent processes.
5.
Include vibration-free periods each
day of work.
6.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while
still keeping safe control of it). Let
the tool do the work.
7.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool
as explained in this manual. If any
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.
