CORDLESS DIE GRINDER
SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding Operation:
1. This power tool is intended to function as a grinder.
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.
2. Operations such as sanding, wire brushing,
polishing or cutting-off are not recommended
to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 controlled.
6. The arbour size of accessories must properly
fit the collet 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.
7. Mandrel mounted accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel
is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the
wheel is too long, the mounted accessory may
become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
8. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged

position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load speed for

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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s)
during the start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause
the tool to twist.
13. Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the tool in the other hand while in
use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to
use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have
a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause
the bit to bind or jump toward you.
14. 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.
15. After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck
or any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened.

your side. Accidental contact with the spinning

accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
17. 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.
18. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
