GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS



WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or

seriousinjury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE

REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)

powertool.

1) Work Area Safety

a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas inviteaccidents.

b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or

dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust orfumes.

c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.

2) Electrical Safety

a ) 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.

b ) 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.

c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electricshock.

d ) 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.

e ) 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.

f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location

is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI

reduces the risk of electricshock.

3) Personal Safety

a ) 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.

b ) 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.

c ) 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 energizing power tools that

have the switch on invitesaccidents.

d ) 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.

e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control of

the power tool in unexpectedsituations.

f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or

long hair can be caught in movingparts.

g ) 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.

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 and/

or the battery pack from the power tool 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

tool’s 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, taking

into account the working conditions and the

work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

ENGLISH

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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL

OPERATIONS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,

Sanding, Wire Brushing, Polishing or

Abrasive, Cutting-Off Operations

a ) This power tool is intended to function as a

grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher 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 ) 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.

c ) 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.

d ) 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.

e ) Threaded mounting of accessories must match

the grinder spindle thread. For accessories

mounted by flanges, the arbor hole of the

accessory must fit the locating diameter of the

flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting

hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,

vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

f ) 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 power tool at maximum

no-load speed for one minute. Damaged

accessories will normally break apart during this

testtime.

g ) 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.

h ) 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.

i ) 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.

j ) 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.

k ) 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.

l ) 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.

m ) 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.

n ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

o ) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may

result in electrocution or shock.

p ) When starting the tool with a new or

replacement wheel, a new or replacement

wire brush installed, or if you are unsure of the

condition of the wheel, hold the tool in a well

protected area and let it run for one minute. If

the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should

burst in less than one minute. If the wire brush has

loose wires, they will be detected. Never start the tool

with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the

operator.

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.

ENGLISH

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 reaction or kickback forces, if proper

precautions are taken.

b ) Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

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.

e ) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade

or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent

kickback and loss of control.

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 center 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 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.

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for

Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations

a ) 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.

b ) 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.

c ) 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.

d ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and

carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind,

walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in

theworkpiece.

e ) 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.

f ) 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.

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.

ENGLISH

Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing

Operations

a ) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing

bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.

Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.

Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle

your fingers or snag on the workpiece.

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 load and

centrifugal forces.

c ) Safety Glasses: 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 feet of the use of thisproduct.

Additional Safety Rules for Grinders



WARNING: The grinding wheel or accessory may

loosen during coast-down of the tool when shut

off. If grinding wheel or accessory loosens, it may

dismount from the machine and may cause serious

personal injury.

• Use of accessories not specified in this manual is not

recommended and may be hazardous. Use of power

boosters that would cause the tool to be driven at speeds

greater than its rated speed constitutes misuse.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable

and may lead to loss of control.

• Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough

treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the

wheel for cracks or flaws.

• Always handle and store wheels in a careful manner.

• Never cut into area that may contain electrical

wiring or piping. Serious injury may result.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.

Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may

cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use

gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods,

and limit daily time of use.

• Direct the Dust Ejection System (DES) away from

operator and coworkers. Serious injury may result.

• When the gear case grip is properly installed, the use of the

side handle is not required.

• When not in use, place grinder on a stable surface

where it will not move inadvertantly, roll or cause a

tripping or falling hazard. Serious personal injury may

result.

Additional Safety Information



eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or

dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. 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.



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.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size

(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller

the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity

ENGLISH

of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18

gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using

more than one extension to make up the total length,

be sure each individual extension contains at least the

minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct

size to use depending on cord length and nameplate

Edge Grinding with grinding Wheels

(Fig. L)



WARNING: Wheels used for cutting and edge

grinding may break or kickback if they bend or twist

while the tool is being used to do cut-off work or deep

grinding. To reduce the risk of serious injury, limit the

use of these wheels with a standard Type 27 guard

to shallow cutting and notching (less than 1/2" [13

mm] in depth). The open side of the guard must be

positioned away from the operator. For deeper cutting

with a Type 1 cut-off wheel, use a closed Type 1 guard.

Refer to the Accessories Chart for more information.

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the

tool to the work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface, allowing

the tool to operate at high speed. Grinding rate is

greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Position yourself so that the open-underside of the

wheel is facing away from you.

4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is established in

the workpiece, do not change the angle of the cut.

Changing the angle will cause the wheel to bend and

may cause wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels

are not designed to withstand side pressures caused

bybending.

Fig. L

5. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning

the tool off. Allow the wheel to stop rotating before

laying the tool down.



WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cutting wheels

for surface grinding applications because these wheels

are not designed for side pressures encountered

with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and serious

personal injury may result.

Surface Finishing with Sanding Flap

Discs (Fig. M)

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the

tool to the work surface.

Using Sanding Backing pads (Fig. O)

Choose the proper grit sanding discs for your application.

Sanding discs are available in various grits. Coarse grits yield

faster material removal rates and a rougher finish. Finer grits

yield slower material removal and a smoother finish.

Begin with coarse grit discs for fast, rough material removal.

Move to a medium grit paper and finish with a fine grit disc

for optimal finish.

Coarse 16–30 grit

Medium 36–80 grit

Fine Finishing 100–120 grit

Very Fine Finishing 150–180 grit

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool

to the work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the

tool to operate at high speed. Sanding rate is greatest

when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Maintain a 5° to 15° angle between the tool and work

surface. The san ding disc should contact approximately

1" (25.4 mm) of work surface.

5˚–15˚

Fig. O

4. Move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent

burning and swirling of work surface. Allowing the tool

to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving

the tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling

marks on the work surface.

5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool

off. Allow the wheel to stop rotating before laying the

tool down.

Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint

1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due

to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust.

The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and

pregnant women.

2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint

contains lead without a chemical analysis, we

recommend the following precautions when sanding

any paint:

Personal Safety

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work

area where the paint sanding is being done until all

clean up is completed.

2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons

entering the work area. The filter should be replaced

daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.

NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working

with lead paint dust and fumes should be used.

Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection.

See your local hardware dealer for the proper NIOSH-

approvedmask.

3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in

the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint

particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE

eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or

smoking should not be left in the work area where dust

would settle on them.

Environmental Safety

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to

minimize the amount of dust generated.

2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed

with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.

3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking

of paint dust outside the work area.

Cleaning and Disposal

1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed

and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of

the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be

changedfrequently.

2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed

of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.

They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and

disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures.

During clean up, children and pregnant women should

be kept away from the immediate work area.

3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by

children should be washed thoroughly before being

used again.

ENGLISH

Mounting and Using Wire Brushes

and Wire Wheels

Wire cup brushes or wire wheels screw directly on the

grinder spindle without the use of flanges. Use only wire

brushes or wheels provided with a 5/8"–11 threaded hub.

A Type 27 guard is required when using wire brushes

andwheels.



CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury,

wear work gloves when handling wire brushes

and wheels. They can become sharp.



CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the

tool, wheel or brush must not touch guard when

mounted or while in use. Undetectable damage

could occur to the accessory, causing wires to

fragment from accessory wheel or cup.

Mounting Wire Cup Brushes and Wire

Wheels

1. Thread the wheel on the spindle by hand.

2. Depress spindle lock button and use a wrench on the

hub of the wire wheel or brush to tighten the wheel.

3. To remove the wheel, reverse the above procedure.

NOTICE: To reduce the risk of damage to the tool,

properly seat the wheel hub before turning the tool on.

Using wire Cup Brushes and Wire

Wheels (Fig. P)

Wire wheels and brushes can be used for removing rust,

scale and paint, and for smoothing irregular surfaces.

NOTE: The same precautions should be taken when wire

brushing paint as when sanding paint (refer to Precautions

To Take When Sanding Paint).

1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching the

tool to the work surface.

2. Apply minimum pressure to work surface, allowing the

tool to operate at high speed. Material removal rate is

greatest when the tool operates at high speed.

3. Maintain a 5° to 10° angle between the tool and work

surface for wire cup brushes.

5˚–10˚

Fig. P

4. Maintain contact between the edge of the wheel and

the work surface with wire wheels.

5. Continuously move the tool in a forward and back

motion to avoid creating gouges in the work surface.

Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without

moving, or moving the tool in a circular motion causes

burning and swirling marks on the work surface.

6. Remove the tool from the work surface before turning

the tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating before

setting it down.



CAUTION: Use extra care when working over an

edge, as a sudden sharp movement of grinder may

AVERTISSEMENTS DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRAUX

POUR LES OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES



AVERTISSEMENT! lire tous les avertissements de

sécurité et toutes les directives. Le non-respect

des avertissements et des directives pourrait se

solder par un choc électrique, un incendie et/ou une

blessuregrave.

CONSERVER TOUS LES

AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES

LES DIRECTIVES POUR UN USAGE

ULTÉRIEUR

Le terme « outil électrique » cité dans les avertissements se

rapporte à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur

(avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).

1) Sécurité du lieu de travail

a ) Tenir l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée.

Les lieux encombrés ou sombres sont propices

auxaccidents.

b ) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques

dans un milieu déflagrant, tel qu’en présence de

liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables.

Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui

pourraient enflammer la poussière ou lesvapeurs.

c ) Éloigner les enfants et les personnes à proximité

pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Une

distraction pourrait en faire perdre la maîtrise à

l’utilisateur.

2) Sécurité en matière d’électricité

a ) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent

correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier la

fiche d’aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche

d’adaptation avec un outil électrique mis à la

terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par

l’utilisation de fiches non modifiées correspondant à

laprise.

b ) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces

mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des

radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs.

Le risque de choc électrique est plus élevé si votre corps

est mis à laterre.

c ) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou

à l’humidité. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil

électrique augmente le risque de chocélectrique.

d ) Ne pas utiliser le cordon de façon abusive.

Ne jamais utiliser le cordon pour transporter,

tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le

cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords

tranchants et des pièces mobiles. Les cordons

endommagés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques

de chocélectrique.

e ) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à

l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge convenant à

cette application. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue

pour l’extérieur réduira les risques de chocélectrique.

f ) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un

outil électrique dans un endroit humide,

brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit

d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur de fuite à

la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur

réduit les risques de chocélectrique.

3) Sécurité personnelle

a ) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire

preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique

est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en

cas de fatigue ou sous l’influence de drogues,

d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment

d’inattention en utilisant un outil électrique peut

entraîner des blessures corporellesgraves.

b ) Utiliser des équipements de protection

individuelle. Toujours porter une protection

oculaire. L’utilisation d’équipements de protection

comme un masque antipoussière, des chaussures

antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des

protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert

réduira les risques de blessurescorporelles.

c ) Empêcher les démarrages intempestifs. S’assurer

que l’interrupteur se trouve à la position

d’arrêt avant de relier l’outil à une source

d’alimentation et/ou d’insérer un bloc-piles, de

ramasser ou de transporter l’outil. Transporter

un outil électrique alors que le doigt repose sur

l’interrupteur ou brancher un outil électrique dont

l’interrupteur est à la position de marche risque de

provoquer unaccident.

d ) Retirer toute clé de réglage ou clé avant de

démarrer l’outil. Une clé ou une clé de réglage

attachée à une partie pivotante de l’outil électrique

peut provoquer des blessurescorporelles.

e ) Ne pas trop tendre les bras. Conserver

son équilibre en tout temps. Cela permet

de mieux maîtriser l’outil électrique dans les

situationsimprévues.

f ) S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter

de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Garder les

cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l’écart des

pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou

les cheveux longs risquent de rester coincés dans les

piècesmobiles.

g ) Si des composants sont fournis pour le

raccordement de dispositifs de dépoussiérage

et de ramassage, s’assurer que ceux-ci sont bien

raccordés et utilisés. L’utilisation d’un dispositif de

dépoussiérage peut réduire les dangers engendrés par

lespoussières.

4) Utilisation et entretien d’un outil

électrique

a ) Ne pas forcer un outil électrique. Utiliser l’outil

électrique approprié à l’application. L’outil

électrique approprié effectuera un meilleur travail,

de façon plus sûre et à la vitesse pour laquelle il a

étéconçu.

FRANÇAIS

b ) Ne pas utiliser un outil électrique dont

l’interrupteur est défectueux. Tout outil électrique

dont l’interrupteur est défectueux est dangereux et

doit êtreréparé.

c ) Débrancher la fiche de la source d’alimentation

et/ou du bloc-piles de l’outil électrique avant de

faire tout réglage ou changement d’accessoire

ou avant de ranger l’outil. Ces mesures préventives

réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel de

l’outilélectrique.

d ) Ranger les outils électriques hors de la portée

des enfants et ne permettre à aucune personne

n’étant pas familière avec un outil électrique ou

son mode d’emploi d’utiliser cet outil. Les outils

électriques deviennent dangereux entre les mains

d’utilisateursinexpérimentés.

e ) Entretien des outils électriques. Vérifier si les

pièces mobiles sont mal alignées ou coincées,

si des pièces sont brisées ou présentent toute

autre condition susceptible de nuire au bon

fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. En cas de

dommage, faire réparer l’outil électrique avant

toute nouvelle utilisation. Beaucoup d’accidents

sont causés par des outils électriques malentretenus.

f ) S’assurer que les outils de coupe sont aiguisés et

propres. Les outils de coupe bien entretenus et affûtés

sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus

faciles àmaîtriser.

g ) Utiliser l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les

forets, etc. conformément aux présentes

directives en tenant compte des conditions de

travail et du travail à effectuer. L’utilisation d’un

outil électrique pour toute opération autre que celle

pour laquelle il a été conçu estdangereuse.

5) Réparation

a ) Faire réparer l’outil électrique par un réparateur

professionnel en n’utilisant que des pièces de

rechange identiques. Cela permettra de maintenir

une utilisation sécuritaire de l’outilélectrique.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ POUR

TOUTES LES OPÉRATIONS

Avertissements de sécurité communs

à toutes les opérations de meulage,

ponçage, brossage à l’aide d’une brosse

métallique, polissage ou de coupe

a ) Cet outil électrique est conçu pour fonctionner

comme une meule, une ponceuse, une brosse

métallique, une polisseuse ou un outil de coupe.

Lire tous les avertissements de sécurité, les

directives, les illustrations et les spécifications

fournies avec cet outil électrique. Négliger de

suivre l’ensemble des directives suivantes pourrait

entraîner des risques de choc électrique, d’incendie et/

ou de blessures graves.

b ) Ne pas utiliser d’accessoire non conçu

spécifiquement pour cet outil ou qui n’aurait pas

reçu une approbation spécifique du fabricant

de l’outil. En effet, il est parfois possible de fixer

un accessoire à l’outil électrique; toutefois, cela ne

garantit pas une utilisation sécuritaire.

c ) Le régime nominal de l’accessoire doit être au

moins égal au régime maximal inscrit sur l’outil

électrique. Les accessoires soumis à un régime plus

élevé que celui pour lequel ils sont conçus peuvent se

briser et être projetés.

d ) Le diamètre externe et l’épaisseur de l’accessoire

doivent être adéquats pour la capacité de l’outil

électrique. Il est impossible de protéger l’utilisateur

d’un bris d’accessoire de mauvais calibre ou de le

maîtriser correctement.

e ) Les raccords filetés d’accessoires doivent

correspondre au filetage de la broche de la

meuleuse. Pour les accessoires à installation

par brides, l’alésage central de l’accessoire

doit correspondre au diamètre de référence

de la bride. Les accessoires ne correspondant pas

au dispositif d’installation de l’outil électrique ne

tourneront pas correctement, vibreront de façon

excessive et pourront causer la perte de contrôle

del’outil.

f ) Ne jamais utiliser un accessoire endommagé.

Avant toute utilisation, inspecter la meule

abrasive à la recherche d’éclats et de fissures; le

tampon pour tout signe de fissures, déchirures

ou d’usure excessive; et la brosse métallique,

pour déceler s’il y a des fils métalliques fissurés

ou détachés. En cas de chute de l’outil ou

de l’accessoire, les inspecter à la recherche

de dommages ou insérer un accessoire non

endommagé. Après l’inspection et l’insertion

d’un accessoire, se positionner (l’utilisateur

ou quiconque aux alentours) hors du plan de

rotation de l’accessoire et faire tourner, pendant

une minute, l’outil électrique à plein régime, à

vide. Normalement, tout accessoire endommagé se

brisera au cours de cette période d’essai.

g ) Porter un équipement de protection individuelle.

Utiliser un masque facial, des lunettes de

sécurité ou des lunettes protectrices en fonction

de l’application. Au besoin, porter un masque

antipoussières, des protecteurs auditifs, des

gants et un tablier d’atelier capable d’arrêter

de petits fragments d’abrasifs ou de pièces. La

protection oculaire doit être en mesure d’arrêter tout

débris produit par les diverses opérations et le masque

antipoussières ou le respirateur, de filtrer les particules

produites par l’opération en cours. Une exposition

prolongée à un bruit d’intensité élevée pourrait causer

une perte auditive.

h ) Éloigner tout observateur à une distance

sécuritaire de la zone de travail. Toute personne

qui pénètre dans la zone de travail devra

également porter un équipement de protection
