Read the “Safety Instructions”
booklet and the following before using.
II. ADDITIONAL 
SAFETY RULES
Safety instructions for all 
operations
Safety warning common for Grinding 
or Abrasive Cutting-off operations:
1)  This power tool is intended to 
function as a grinder, 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.
2) 
Operations such as sanding, wire 
brushing, polishing 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)  Threaded mounting of accessories 
must match the grinder spindle 
thread. For accessories mounted 
by flanges, the arbour hole of the 
accessory must fit the locating 
diameter of the flange.  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.
7)  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 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.
8)  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.
9)  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.
10)  Hold the power tool by insulated 
gripping surfaces only, when 
performing an operation where the 
cutting tool may contact hidden 
wiring. Contact with a “live” wire 
will also make exposed metal 
parts of the power tool “live” and 
could give the operator an electric 
shock.

							- 7 -  
11) 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.
12)  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.
13)  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.
14)  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.
15)  Do not operate the power tool near 
flammable materials. Sparks could 
ignite these materials.
16)  Do not use accessories that 
require liquid coolants.  Using water 
or other liquid coolants may result in 
electrocution or shock.Further safety instructions for 
all operations
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 
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 
away from the operator, depending on 
direction of the wheel’s movement at 
the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels 
may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool 
misuse and/or incorrect operating 
procedures or conditions and can be 
avoided by taking proper precautions 
as given below.
1)  Maintain a firm grip on the power 
tool and position your body 
and arm to allow you to resist 
kickback forces. Always use 
auxiliary handle, if provided, for 
maximum control over kickback 
or torque reaction during start-up. 
The operator can control torque 
reactions or kickback forces, if proper 
precautions are taken.
2)  Never place your hand near the 
rotating accessory. Accessory may 
kickback over your hand. 
3)  Do not position your body in the 
area where power tool will move 
if kickback occurs. Kickback will 
propel the tool in direction opposite to 
the wheel’s movement at the point of 
snagging.
4)  Use special care when working 
corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid 
bouncing and snagging the 
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or

bouncing have a tendency to snag 
the rotating accessory and cause 
loss of control or kickback.
5)  Do not attach a saw chain 
woodcarving blade or toothed saw 
blade. Such blades create frequent 
kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions 
for grinding and cutting-off 
operations
Safety warnings specific for Grinding 
and Abrasive Cutting-off operations:
1) Use only wheel types that are 
recommended for your power tool 
and the specific guard designed 
for the selected wheel.  Wheels 
for which the power tool was not 
designed cannot be adequately 
guarded and are unsafe.
2)  The grinding surface of centre 
depressed wheels must be 
mounted below the plane of the 
guard lip.  An improperly mounted 
wheel that projects through the plane 
of the guard lip cannot be adequately 
protected.
3)  The guard must be securely 
attached to the power tool and 
positioned for maximum safety, 
so the least amount of wheel is 
exposed towards the operator. 
The guard helps to protect operator 
from broken wheel fragments and 
accidental contact with wheel and 
sparks that could ignite clothing.
4)  Wheels must be used only for 
recommended applications. For 
example: do not grind with the 
side of cut-off wheel.  Abrasive 
cut-off wheels are intended for 
peripheral grinding, side forces 
applied to these wheels may cause 
them to shatter.
5)  Always use undamaged wheel 
flanges that are of correct size and 
shape for your selected wheel. 
Proper wheel flanges support the 
wheel thus reducing the possibility of 
wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off  wheels may be different from grinding 
wheel flanges.
6)  Do not use worn down wheels 
from larger power tools.  Wheel 
intended for larger power tool is not 
suitable for the higher speed of a 
smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings 
Specific for Abrasive Cutting-
Off Operations:
1)  Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel 
or apply excessive pressure. Do 
not attempt to make an excessive 
depth of cut.  Overstressing the 
wheel increases the loading and 
susceptibility to twisting or binding 
of the wheel in the cut and the 
possibility of kickback or wheel 
breakage.
2)  Do not position your body in 
line with and behind the rotating 
wheel.  When the wheel, at the point 
of operation, is moving away from 
your body, the possible kickback may 
propel the spinning wheel and the 
power tool directly at you.
3)  When wheel is binding or when 
interrupting a cut for any reason, 
switch off the power tool and hold 
the power tool motionless until 
the wheel comes to a complete 
stop. Never attempt to remove the 
cut-off wheel from the cut while 
the wheel is in motion otherwise 
kickback may occur. Investigate 
and take corrective action to 
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
4)  Do not restart the cutting 
operation in the workpiece. Let 
the wheel reach full speed and 
carefully reenter the cut. The 
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback 
if the power tool is restarted in the 
workpiece.
5)  Support panels or any oversized 
workpiece to minimize the risk 
of wheel pinching and kickback. 
Large workpieces tend to sag under 
their own weight. Supports must be 
placed under the workpiece near
