7.  
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for  
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.  
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or  
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords  
increase the risk of electric shock.  
Power tool use and care  
18. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct  
power tool for your application. The correct  
power tool will do the job better and safer at the  
rate for which it was designed.  
8.  
9.  
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an  
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of  
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of  
electric shock.  
If operating a power tool in a damp location is  
unavoidable, use a residual current device  
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces  
the risk of electric shock.  
19. Do not use the power tool if the switch does  
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot  
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and  
must be repaired.  
20. Disconnect the plug from the power source  
and/or the battery pack from the power tool  
before making any adjustments, changing  
accessories, or storing power tools. Such  
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of  
starting the power tool accidentally.  
10. Use of power supply via a RCD with a rated  
residual current of 30mA or less is always  
recommended.  
21. Store idle power tools out of the reach of  
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar  
with the power tool or these instructions to  
operate the power tool. Power tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
22. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment  
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts  
and any other condition that may affect the  
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the  
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents  
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.  
23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges  
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
24. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits  
etc. in accordance with these instructions,  
taking into account the working conditions  
and the work to be performed. Use of the power  
tool for operations different from those intended  
could result in a hazardous situation.  
Personal safety  
11. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use  
common sense when operating a power tool.  
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or  
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or  
medication.  
operating power tools may result in serious  
personal injury.  
A
moment of inattention while  
12. Use personal protective equipment. Always  
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such  
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or  
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions  
will reduce personal injuries.  
13. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the  
switch is in the off-position before connecting  
to power source and/or battery pack, picking  
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools  
with your finger on the switch or energising power  
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.  
14. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before  
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left  
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may  
result in personal injury.  
15. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and  
balance at all times. This enables better control  
of the power tool in unexpected situations.  
16. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or  
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves  
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,  
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving  
parts.  
Service  
25. 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.  
26. Follow instruction for lubricating and  
changing accessories.  
27. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and  
grease.  
17. If devices are provided for the connection of  
dust extraction and collection facilities,  
ensure these are connected and properly used.  
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related  
hazards.

personal injury.  
a
hazard and cause  
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 accessory must be within the capacity  
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized  
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or  
controlled.  
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.  
4.  
5.  
14. Do not operate the power tool near flammable  
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.  
15. Do not use accessories that require liquid  
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants  
may result in electrocution or shock.  
6.  
16. 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.  
7.  
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.

a) 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.  
24. Always be sure that the tool is switched off  
and unplugged or that the battery cartridge is  
removed before carrying out any work on the  
tool.  
25. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer  
for correct mounting and use of wheels.  
Handle and store wheels with care.  
b) Never place your hand near the rotating  
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your  
hand.  
26. Check that the workpiece is properly  
supported.  
27. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or  
c) 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.  
d) 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.  
badly polluted by conductive dust, use  
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure  
operator safety.  
a
28. Do not use the tool on any materials  
containing asbestos.  
29. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not  
use water on the workpiece surface.  
30. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear  
when working in dusty conditions. If it should  
become necessary to clear dust, first  
disconnect the tool from the mains supply  
(use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging  
internal parts.  
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade  
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create  
frequent kickback and loss of control  
17. Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding:  
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended  
for your power tool.  
31. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be  
sure no one is below when using the tool in  
high locations.  
b) 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.  
c) 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.
