WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may cause serious personal
injury.
Tool Operation:
• Always use the recommended wheel guard
to prevent injury from broken grinding
wheel parts. If a guard has withstood
a wheel breakage, discontinue its use
and replace it with a new guard.
It may be damaged. Position the
guard between the grinding wheel and the
operator. Use barriers to protect others from
wheel fragments and grinding sparks.
• Always wear impact-resistant eye and face
protection when involved in the operation
of this tool. Even small projectiles can
injure eyes and cause blindness.
A grinding wheel that bursts can cause very serious injury.
Daily measure the air grinder speed with a tachometer to
make sure it's not greater than the RPM marked on the
grinding wheel. Never use a grinding wheel marked with
a speed lower than the air grinder speed.
• Before grinding, test grinding wheel by briefly running
the tool at full throttle. Be sure to use a barrier
(such as under a heavy work table) to stop any
possible broken wheel parts.
• Grinding draws high current and overheating may occur,
causing the circuit protection to shut the tool off.
Allow the tool and battery to cool before reuse.
