2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
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.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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.
• 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.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations
• 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.
• 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.
• Always follow tool safety principles when operating power tools. Careless action can
cause severe injuries within a fraction of a second.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the 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.
• 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
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected siuations.
5) SERVICE
• 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.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR MINI GRINDER

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 which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) 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.
k) 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.
l) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
6
m) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers
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.
Wear hearing protection; Wear eye protection; Wear dust mask; Wear protective gloves.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call
the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
• Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position when the power supply is
interrupted, e. g., in case of a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled.
• Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before they have cooled down. The discs
can become very hot while working.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is
held more secure than by hand.
