GENERAL POWER TOOLS WARNING
4) Power tool use and care.
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power
tool's 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 repaired by
a skilled and qualified person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding, polishing and abrasive
operations:
a) If the power tool is intended to function
as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polishing
or cutting tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow the instructions
listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as grinding, 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) The arbor size of wheels, flanges,
backing pads or any other accessory
must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool. Accessories with arbour
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.
g) 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 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.
h) 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 byvarious 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.
i) 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
