ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS

SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRIND-
ING, SANDING, WIRE BRUSHING AND POLISH-
ING OPERATIONS
 This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, or polisher. Read all safety warn-
ings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all in-
structions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
 Operations such as 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.
 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.
 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.
 The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-
sory must be within the capacity rating of your power
tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
 The arbour 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.
 Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use in-
spect 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 bystand-
ers 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.
SERVICE
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
 When servicing a power tool, use only identical re-
placement parts. Follow instructions in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create
a risk of shock or injury.
 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 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.
 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.
 Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory 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.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
 Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
