General Power Tool Safety

Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Use of power supply via a RCD with a rated residual current of 30mA or less is always recommended.

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. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

4

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.

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.

GEB033-6

GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,

Wire Brushing, or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

1. This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush 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 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. The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit

the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes 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, 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 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 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 electric shock.

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

5

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.

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. 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. b) Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand. 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. e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive

Cutting-Off Operations: a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard

designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for

6 which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. b) 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. c) 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. d) 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. e) 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: a) 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. b) 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. c) 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 d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. 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. e) 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 the line of cut and near the

edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel. f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket

cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, tool.

27. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for correct mounting and use of wheels.

Handle and store wheels with care. electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:

28. Do not use separate reducing bushings or adaptors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels. a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding 29. Use only flanges specified for this tool. disc paper. Follow manufacturers 30. For tools intended to be fitted with threaded 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 or kickback.

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/or skin. b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow 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. hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.

31. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.

32. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.

33. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.

34. Do not use the tool on any materials containing asbestos.

35. Do not use water or grinding lubricant.

36. 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.

37. When use cut-off wheel, always work with the dust collecting wheel guard required by domestic regulation.

38. Cutting discs must not be subjected to any lateral pressure.

Additional safety warnings:

17. When using depressed centre grinding wheels, be sure to use only fiberglass-reinforced wheels.

18. 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.

19. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange (especially the installing surface) or the lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.

20. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

21. 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.

22. Use the specified surface of the wheel to perform the grinding.

23. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks fly away from you and other persons or flammable materials.

24. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.

25. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
