SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
7. Mandrel MOUNTED WHEELS, sanding drums,
cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel
is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the
wheel is too long, the MOUNTED WHEEL may
become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
8. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum 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.
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 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.
10. 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.
11. Hold 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.
12. Always hold the tool firmly in your
hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction
torque of the motor, as it accelerates to
full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
13. Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
practical. Never hold a small workpiece in
one hand and the tool in the other hand while
in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you
to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing
have a tendency to roll while being cut, and
may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
14. 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.
15. After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck
or any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment devices can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose
rotating components will be violently thrown.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
19. Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
20. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
21. Do not depress the spindle lock when
starting or during operation.
22. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and
unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
23. Use clamps (not included) or other practical
ways to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control and personal injury.
24. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
