SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL

OPERATIONS Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing Operations a ) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, or wire brush. 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 seriousinjury. b ) Operations such as polishing and cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power toolwas not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury. c ) 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 safeoperation. d ) 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 flyapart. e ) 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 orcontrolled. f ) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbor 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 ofcontrol. 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 Grinder Non-Functions Function 1 Function 2 Function 3 polishing and cutting- off

a ) 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. b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.English

accessories will normally break apart during this testtime. 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 hearingloss. i ) 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 ofoperation. j ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory 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 could give the operator an electricshock. k ) 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 yourcontrol. l ) 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 yourbody. m ) 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 electricalhazards. n ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials. o ) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock. p ) Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using inappropriate accessories can result ininjury. q ) Always use auxiliary handle. Tighten the handle securely. The auxiliary handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at all times. r ) When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel, or a new or replacement wire brush installed, hold the tool in a well protected area and let it run for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less than one minute. If the wire brush has loose wires, they will be detected. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator. s ) To prevent the spindle end from contacting the bottom of the hole of the abrasive product, use accessories that have a threaded hole depth of at least 21 mm. Failure to use an accessory with the appropriate thread depth could result in damage to the abrasive product and injury to the operator or persons in the area. t ) The arbor size of hubbed wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss ofcontrol. 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 thebinding. 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 theseconditions. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: 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 reaction or kickback forces, if proper precautions aretaken. b ) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over yourhand. 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 ofsnagging. 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 orkickback. e ) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss ofcontrol.5 English Additional Safety Information

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicalsare:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically- treatedlumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding Operations a ) 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 areunsafe. b ) The grinding surface of center 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 adequatelyprotected. c ) 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 the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could igniteclothing. d ) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. e ) 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 wheelflanges. f ) 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 mayburst. Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations a ) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc orkickback. Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/orskin. b ) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work and centrifugalforces. c ) Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1 MUST be worn by the operator and others that are within 50' (15.2 m) of the use of thisproduct. Additional Safety Warnings

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, use only

accessories rated at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the tool.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always use

proper guards when grinding.

WARNING: Do not use Type 1/41 flat cut-off abrasive

or diamond wheels without proper guard.

shown in Figure L and rotate the spindle until you are unable to rotate the spindle further.

CAUTION: Always use the correct guard per the instructions in thismanual.

WARNING: Metal dust build-up. Extensive use

of flap discs in metal applications can result in the increased potential for electric shock. To reduce this risk, insert an RCD before use and clean the ventilation slots daily by blowing dry compressed air into the ventilation slots inaccordance with the below maintenanceinstructions. To perform work on the surface of a workpiece:

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the

tool to the worksurface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing

the tool to operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest when the tool operates at highspeed. Angle Fig. M

3. Maintain an appropriate angle between the tool

and work surface. Refer to the chart according to particularfunction. Function Angle Grinding 20˚-30˚ Sanding with Flap Disc 5˚-10˚ Sanding with Backing Pad 5˚-15˚ Wire Brushing 5˚-10˚

4. Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and

the worksurface. - If grinding, sanding with flap discs or wire brushing move the tool continuously in a forward and back motion to avoid creating gouges in the worksurface. - If sanding with a backing pad, move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and swirling of worksurface. NOTE: Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without moving will damage the workpiece.

5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool

off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying itdown.

CAUTION: Use extra care when working over an edge, as a sudden sharp movement of grinder may beexperienced. Precautions to Take When Working on a Painted Workpiece

1. Sanding or wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT

RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnantwomen.

2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint

contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint: Personal Safety

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work

area where the paint sanding or wire brushing is being done until all clean up iscompleted.

2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons

entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficultybreathing. NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper N.I.O.S.H. approvedmask.

3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in

the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paintENGLISH

particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle onthem. Environmental Safety

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to

minimize the amount of dustgenerated.

2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed

with plastic sheeting of 4 milsthickness.

3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking

of paint dust outside the workarea. Cleaning and Disposal

1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed

and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changedfrequently.

2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed

of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-upprocedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate workarea.

3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by

children should be washed thoroughly before being usedagain. Edge Grinding Edge grinding must not be done with this tool. Using Sanding Backing Pads Choose the proper grit sanding discs for your application. Sanding discs are available in various grits. Coarse grits yield faster material removal rates and a rougher finish. Finer grits yield slower material removal and a smoother finish. Begin with coarse grit discs for fast, rough material removal. Move to a medium grit paper and finish with a fine grit disc for optimal finish. Sandpaper Grit Coarse 16–30 Medium 36–80 Fine Finishing 100–120 Very Fine Finishing 150–180

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool

to the work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the

tool to operate at high speed. Sanding rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Figure M - Maintain a 5˚ to 15˚ angle between the

tool and work surface. The san ding disc should contact approximately 1" (25mm) of work surface.

4. Move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent

burning and swirling of work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.

5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool

off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before laying it down. Using Wire Cup Brushes and Wire Wheels Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust, scale and paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces. NOTE: The same precautions should be taken when wire brushing paint as when sanding paint.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the

tool to the work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the

tool to operate at high speed. Material removal rate is greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Maintain a 5˚ to 10˚ angle between the tool and work

surface for wire cup brushes.

4. Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and

the work surface with wire wheels.

5. Continuously move the tool in a forward and back

motion to avoid creating gouges in the work surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.

6. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning

the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before setting it down.

7. Use extra care when working over an edge, as a sudden

sharp movement of grinder may be experienced. Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with

clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performingthis.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh

chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid. MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury. Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is a necessary maintenance procedure.
