Additional Safety Information

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it.
Damage or personal injury couldresult.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if operation is dusty. ALL USERS AND BYSTANDERS MUST
ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.

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 chemicalsare:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treatedlumber.
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 microscopicparticles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmfulchemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face andbody.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearingloss.
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can causekickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for SandingOperations
a ) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturer's 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 any interference of the wire
wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may
expand in diameter due to work and centrifugalforces.
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 thisproduct.

CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs
will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily
knockedover.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
movingparts.
Features
E-Switch Protection™
The ON/OFF paddle switch has a no-volt release function. In
the event of an unexpected shut down, the paddle switch
will need to be released then depressed to restarttool.
E-Clutch™
This unit is equipped with an E-Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch),
which in the event of a high-load, the unit will shut off to
reduce the reaction torque to the user. The paddle switch
will need to be released then depressed to restarttool.
Kickback Brake™
When a pinch, stall, or bind-up event is sensed, the
electronic brake engages with maximum force to quickly
stop the wheel, reduce the movement of the grinder, and
shut the grinder off. The paddle switch will need to be
released then depressed to restarttool.
Power-OFF™ Overload Protection
The power supply to the motor will be reduced in case of
motor overload. With continued motor overload, the tool
will shut off. The paddle switch will need to be released
then depressed to restarttool. The tool will power off each
time the current load reaches the overload current value
(motor burn-up point). If continued overload shutdowns
occur, apply less force/weight on the tool until the tool will
function without the overloadengaging.
Electronic Soft Start
This feature limits the initial start-up momentum, allowing
the speed to build up gradually over a 1-secondperiod.
