DIE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire
Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, polisher, carving or cut-off tool.
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.
b) 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.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal
to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accesso-
ries running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) 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.
e) The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other
accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet of the
power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware
of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
f) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other
accessories must be fully inserted into the collet or chuck. If
the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the wheel
is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be ejected
at high velocity.
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 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.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full
speed, can cause the tool to twist.
l) Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical.
Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the
other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you
to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round material such as dowel
rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may
cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
m) 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.
n) After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make
sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly
shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be
violently thrown.
o) 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.
p) 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.
q) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
r) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
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 snag-
ging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel
to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or
