4. Power tool use and care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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.
5. Service
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.
Additional safety rules for
angle grinders
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sanding, polishing 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.
b) Operations such as wire brushing 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.
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 safe operation.
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 fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating on your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f) 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.
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
