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 cut 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 personalinjury. 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 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 that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained powertools. f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol. g ) 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 hazardoussituation. h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5) Battery Tool Use and Care

a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another batterypack. b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury andfire. c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or afire. d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns. e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265 °F (130°C) may causeexplosion. g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

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

mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss ofcontrol. u ) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to 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. 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 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. 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 orshock. 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 alltimes. 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 theoperator. 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 21mm. 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 thearea. 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 the5 English 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. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them toshatter. 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 SandingOperations 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.

Surface Grinding, Sanding and Wire Brushing (Fig.H)

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

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. Spindle Lock (Fig.A) The spindle lock

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 paint 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 4milsthickness.

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. Accessories
