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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

SAFETY WARNINGS  
Safety Warnings for Grinding Operation:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
This power tool is intended to function as a  
grinder with offset diamond wheels. 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.  
Operations such as grinding with abrasive  
wheels, sanding, wire brushing, polishing or  
cutting-off 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.  
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.  
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  
3
 
4.  
5.  
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.  
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.  
The arbour size of wheels, flanges 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.  
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each  
use inspect the accessory such as offset  
diamond wheels for chips and cracks. 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.  
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  
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.  
6.  
7.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
9.  
b) Never place your hand near the rotating  
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your  
hand.  
10. 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  
shock the operator.  
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.  
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.  
4
 
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade  
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create  
frequent kickback and loss of control  
disconnect the tool from the mains supply  
use non metallic objects and avoid  
damaging internal parts.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding Operation:  
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) 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.  
Additional safety warnings:  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  
WARNING:  
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product  
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence  
to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or  
failure to follow the safety rules stated in this  
instruction manual may cause serious personal  
injury.  
17. Always install the dust cover before operation.  
18. 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.  
19. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the  
workpiece before the switch is turned on.  
20. 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.
