• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufac-
turer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one
tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair per-
sonnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified person-
nel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instruc-
tions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDERS
• Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects
operator from broken wheel fragments and wheel contact. Do not
use Type 1 abrasive or diamond wheels without proper guarding.
• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recom-
mended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other acces-
sories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Accessory ratings are above rated no-load tool speeds because
actual tool speeds may vary.
• Do not use type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using inap-
propriate accessories can result in injury.
• Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain
long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also
be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
