e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
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.
Additional power tool safety warnings
@
Warning! Additional safety warnings for
grinding, sanding, polishing or abrasive
cutting-off operations
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
u
sander, polisher or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, 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 for which the power tool was not designed
u
may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
u
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
u
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
u
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
u
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by
flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. 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.
(Original instructions)
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
u
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels 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 and run
the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
u
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 filtering particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
u
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 power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
u
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 could give
the operator an electric shock.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
u
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
u
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
u
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
u
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
u
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
u
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Note: The above warning does not apply for power tools
specifically designed for use with a liquid system.
