SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specications provided

with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Grinder safety warnings

Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding,

wire brushing, or cutting-o operations:

1. This power tool is intended to function as a

grinder, sander, wire brush, hole cutter or cut-

o tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions,

illustrations and specications provided with

this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may result in electric shock, re and/

or serious injury.

2. Operations such as polishing are not 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 convert this power tool to operate in

a way which is not specically designed and

specied by the tool manufacturer. Such a con-

version may result in a loss of control and cause

serious personal injury.

4. Do not use accessories which are not spe-

cically designed and specied by the tool

manufacturer. Just because the accessory can

be attached to your power tool, it does not assure

safe operation.

5. 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 y apart.

11 ENGLISH

6. 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.

7. The dimensions of the accessory mounting

must t the dimensions of the mounting hard-

ware 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.

8.

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 maxi-

mum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged acces-

sories will normally break apart during this test time.

9.

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 ying debris generated by various applica-

tions. The dust mask or respirator must be capable

of ltrating particles generated by the particular

application. Prolonged exposure to high intensity

noise may cause hearing loss.

10.

Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work

area. Anyone entering the work area must wear per-

sonal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece

or of a broken accessory may y away and cause injury

beyond immediate area of operation.

11. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact hid-

den 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 electric shock.

12. Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-

sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or

snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into

the spinning accessory.

13. Never lay the power tool down until the acces-

sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning

accessory may grab the surface and pull the

power tool out of your control.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. Do not operate the power tool near ammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

17. 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 acces-

sory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the

rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-

trolled 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 move-

ment 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 rm grip with both hands on the

power tool and position your body and arms

to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always

use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maxi-

mum 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 acces-

sory. 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,

segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap

greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such

blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Safety warnings specic for grinding and cutting-o

operations:

1. Use only wheel types that are specied

for your power tool and the specic 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 the operator

from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with

wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.

4. Wheels must be used only for specied appli-

cations. For example: do not grind with the

side of cut-o wheel. Abrasive cut-o wheels

are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces

applied to these wheels may cause them to

shatter.

12 ENGLISH

5.

Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of

correct size and shape for your selected wheel.

Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing

the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-o

wheels may be dierent from grinding wheel anges.

6. Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. A wheel intended for larger power

tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a

smaller tool and may burst.

7. When using dual purpose wheels always use

the correct guard for the application being

performed. Failure to use the correct guard may

not provide the desired level of guarding, which

could lead to serious injury.

Additional safety warnings specic for cutting-o

operations:

1. Do not “jam” the cut-o wheel or apply exces-

sive 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 possibil-

ity 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 spin-

ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

3. When the wheel is binding or when interrupt-

ing a cut for any reason, switch o the power

tool and hold it motionless until the wheel

comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to

remove the cut-o 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 work-

piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully

re-enter 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 kick-

back. Large workpieces tend to sag under their

own weight. Supports must be placed under the

workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge

of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

6. Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut”

into existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, elec-

trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

7. Do not attempt to do curved cutting.

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, which can lead to serious injury.

8. Before using a segmented diamond wheel,

make sure that the diamond wheel has the

peripheral gap between segments of 10 mm or

less, only with a negative rake angle.

Safety warnings specic for sanding operations:

1. Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow

manufacturers recommendations, when

selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper

extending too far beyond the sanding pad pres-

ents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,

tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety warnings specic for wire brushing operations:

1. 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/or skin.

2. If the use of a guard is specied 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 load

and centrifugal forces.

Additional Safety Warnings:

1. When using depressed centre grinding wheels,

be sure to use only berglass-reinforced

wheels.

2. NEVER USE Stone Cup type wheels with this

grinder. This grinder is not designed for these

types of wheels and the use of such a product

may result in serious personal injury.

3. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the

ange (especially the installing surface) or the

lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in

wheel breakage.

4. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

5. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,

let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or

wobbling that could indicate poor installation

or a poorly balanced wheel.

6. Use the specied surface of the wheel to per-

form the grinding.

7. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

8. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could

burn your skin.

9. Do not touch accessories immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could

burn your skin.

10. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer

for correct mounting and use of wheels.

Handle and store wheels with care.

11. Do not use separate reducing bushings or

adaptors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.

12. Use only anges specied for this tool.

13. For tools intended to be tted with threaded

hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel

is long enough to accept the spindle length.

14. Check that the workpiece is properly

supported.

15. Pay attention that the wheel continues to

rotate after the tool is switched o.

16. If working place is extremely hot and humid,

or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a

short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure opera-

tor safety.

17. Do not use the tool on any materials contain-

ing asbestos.

18. When use cut-o wheel, always work with

the dust collecting wheel guard if required by

domestic regulation.

19. Cutting discs must not be subjected to any

lateral pressure.

13 ENGLISH

20. Do not use cloth work gloves during operation.

Fibers from cloth gloves may enter the tool, which

causes tool breakage.

21. Before operation, make sure that there is no

buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe

or gas pipe in the workpiece. Otherwise, it may

cause an electric shock, electrical leakage or gas

leak.

22. If a blotter is attached to the wheel, do not

remove it. The diameter of the blotter must be

larger than the lock nut, outer ange, and inner

ange.

23. Before installing a grinding wheel, always

check that the blotter part does not have any

abnormalities such as chips or cracks.

24. Tighten the lock nut properly. Overtightening

the wheel can cause breakage and insucient

tightening can cause uttering.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity

with product (gained from repeated use) replace

strict adherence to safety rules for the subject

product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety

rules stated in this instruction manual may cause

serious personal injury.

The tool is equipped with a tool protection system. This

system automatically reduces or cuts o power to the

motor to extend tool life. The tool will automatically

reduce power or stop during operation if the tool is

placed under one of the following conditions:

Overload protection

When the tool is operated in a manner that causes it

to draw an abnormally high current, the tool reduces

power automatically without any indication. In this

situation, remove the cause of the overload so that the

rotation speed recovered.

Overheat protection

Country specic

When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automat-

ically and the indication lamp blinks in red. In this

situation, let the tool cool down. You can turn the tool

on again after the lamp changes the color from red to

green.

Indication lamp

► Fig.1: 1. Indication lamp

OPERATION

WARNING: It should never be necessary to

force the tool. The weight of the tool applies ade-

quate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure

could cause dangerous wheel breakage.

WARNING: ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is

dropped while grinding.

WARNING: NEVER hit the workpiece with the

wheel.

WARNING: Avoid bouncing and snagging

the wheel, especially when working corners,

sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and

kickback.

WARNING: NEVER use tool with wood cutting

blades and other saw blades. Such blades when

used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of

control leading to personal injury.

WARNING: Continued use of a worn-out

wheel may result in wheel explosion and serious

personal injury.

CAUTION: Never switch on the tool when it

is in contact with the workpiece, it may cause an

injury to operator.

CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles or a

face shield during operation.

CAUTION: After operation, always switch o

the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a

complete stop before putting the tool down.

CAUTION: ALWAYS hold the tool rmly with

one hand on housing and the other on the side

grip (handle).

NOTE: A dual purpose wheel can be used for both

grinding and cutting-o operations.

Refer to the "Operation with wheel/disc" for grinding

operation, and refer to the "Operation with abrasive

cut-o / diamond wheel" for cutting-o operation.

Operation with wheel/disc

► Fig.28

Turn the tool on and then apply the wheel or disc to the

workpiece.

In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an

angle of about 15° to the workpiece surface.

During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not

work the grinder in forward direction or it may cut into

the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been

rounded o by use, the wheel may be worked in both

forward and backward direction.

Operation with abrasive cut-o /

diamond wheel

Optional accessory

WARNING: Do not "jam" the 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, wheel breakage and overheating of the

motor may occur.

WARNING: Do not start the cutting operation

in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed

and carefully enter into the cut moving the tool

forward over the workpiece surface. The wheel

may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is

started in the workpiece.

WARNING: During cutting operations, never

change the angle of the wheel. Placing side pres-

sure on the cut-o wheel (as in grinding) will cause

the wheel to crack and break, causing serious per-

sonal injury.

WARNING: A diamond wheel shall be oper-

ated perpendicular to the material being cut.

COMBINATION OF APPLICATIONS AND

ACCESSORIES

Optional accessory

CAUTION: Using the tool with incorrect guards can cause risks as follows.

• When using a cut-o wheel guard for facial grinding, the wheel guard may interfere with the work-

piece causing poor control.

• When using a grinding wheel guard for cutting-o operations with bonded abrasive wheels and dia-

mond wheels, there is an increased risk of exposure to rotating wheels, emitted sparks and particles,

as well as exposure to wheel fragments in the event of wheel burst.

• When using a cut-o wheel guard or grinding wheel guard for facial operations with cup-type dia-

mond wheels, the wheel guard may interfere with the workpiece causing poor control.

• When using a cut-o wheel guard or grinding wheel guard with a wheel-type wire brush with a thick-

ness greater than the maximum thickness as specied in "SPECIFICATIONS", the wires may catch on

the guard leading to breaking of wires.

• Use of dust collecting wheel guards for cutting-o and facial operations in concrete or masonry

reduces a risk of exposure to dust.

• When using dual purpose (combined grinding and cutting-o abrasive) ange mounted wheels, only

use a cut-o wheel guard.
