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 guarded or controlled.
6. 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

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.
8. 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.
9. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, 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 shock the operator.
10. Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
15. Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
16. 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
