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. 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. Page 9 Safety 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 residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. Note: The term "residual current device (RCD)" may be replaced by the term "ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)". Page 10 Safety 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. Safety Use hearing protection Use eye protection Use a dust mask c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the offposition 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. 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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. Page 11 Safety 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 operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Page 12 Safety 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. b) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator. c) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. Additional Safety warnings 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 accessories 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 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) 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. Page 13 Safety Additional Safety warnings 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 and wire brushes 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 shop 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 the workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation. i) Hold power tool only by insulated gripping surfaces, 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 tool "live" and shock the operator. j) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. k) 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. l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a Page 14 Safety Additional Safety warnings complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control. m) 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. n) 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. o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials. p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock. q) Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic). r) Take protective measures when during work dust can develop that is harmful to one's health, combustible or explosive (some dusts are considered carcinogenic) wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extraction when connectable. Page 15 Safety 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. 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 the direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging. d) Use special care when working corners, shark edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, shark 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. Page 16 Safety 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 that are unsafe. b) 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. c) 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 cutoff wheels maybe different from grinding wheel flanges. d) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tools is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst. Page 17 Safety 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 the 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 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 re-enter 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. Page 18 Safety Safety warnings specific for sanding operations a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer's recommendations, when selecting sand paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback. Safety warning 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 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) Do not exceed 15,000 rpm while using wire brushes. Page 19 Safety Machine specific safety warnings a) Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock. b) Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries. c) Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work are 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. d) When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands. e) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. f) Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode. g) Wear protective gloves when changing application tools / accessories. Application tools/accessories become hot after prolonged usage. h) Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-containing fluids. Materials being warmed up by the scraping can cause toxic vapours to develop. i) Exercise extreme caution when handling the scraper. The accessory is very sharp; danger of injury. Warning! WARNING Do not work with materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic). Warning! WARNING Take protective measures during work when dust can develop that is harmful to one's health, combustible or explosive (some dusts are considered carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and work with dust/ chip extraction when connectable.

Page 51 Using the Twist-A-SawTM Using the Twist-A-FlexTM Rotary Tool Attachment Follow the steps below to use the Twist-A-FlexTM Rotary Tool Attachment on your Twist-A-SawTM. Warning! WARNING Always hold on to the Twist-A-FlexTM rotary tool head when it is turned on. Failure to do so means the Twist-A-FlexTM can thrash about and may cause serious injury. Part Action 1 Fit the correct cutting bit for your task into the collet. Refer to Installing cutting bits on page 28. 2 Hold on to the rotary tool head, being careful not to touch the bit, and turn the Twist-A-SawTM on. Refer to Turning the Twist-A-SawTM on and off on page 41. 3 Hold the Twist-A-FlexTM like a pencil to etch, grind or polish the workpiece, as required. Note: When etching and engraving, etch with the side of the bit, not the tip. Note: If you can, avoid laying Twist-A-SawTM on the workbench while working with the Twist-A-FlexTM. Use the hanging loop on the top of Twist-A-SawTM to hang Twist-A-SawTM higher than your workpiece. This enables a straighter Twist-A-FlexTM rotary tool shaft, which means it will operate more efficiently. You also lessen the chance of the shaft overheating. Page 52 Using the Twist-A-SawTM Using the Twist-A-FlexTM Rotary Tool Attachment Warning! WARNING · Never bend the Twist-A-FlexTM rotary tool shaft to a radius of less than Ø 100mm (Ø 4") when operating, otherwise overheating can occur. · Whenever possible, store the Twist-A-FlexTM without bends. · Never bend the head of the Twist-A-FlexTM rotary tool excessively. If overheating occurs, stop immediately. 100mm (4") Radius Page 53 Tips and troubleshooting Tips and troubleshooting Choosing the right speed Remember, speed is relevant to what you are cutting. It's easy to increase speed, so if in doubt, start slow. Using the right speed will protect and prolong the life of Twist-A-SawTM bits. Applying too much pressure or speed will raise the temperature of the bit and shorten its life. Listen to Twist-A-SawTM and how it is coping with the load when deciding to change speed. The Twist-A-Bits workshop guide lists the recommended speeds for each bit. These are guides only and must be adjusted according to the characteristics of the material being cut. Cutting tips Always use two hands on Twist-A-SawTM for greater control and to prevent the bit `popping out' of the workpiece. Material thickness must never exceed the length of the cutting flutes. When cutting a hole in vertical material, always start and end the cut at the top of the hole, not at the bottom. This ensures that the cut-out will fall away from the rotating bit. Always cut in a clockwise direction, except when cutting drywall/ plasterboard. If you cut in a counter-clockwise direction, Twist-ASawTM can `run away' from you. Because the bit rotates, there is a slight pull to the left when cutting. Natural differences in wood structure can cause the bit to `drift'. If too much pressure is applied, this effect will be increased. When glass etching with the Twist-A-FlexTM, consider resting the item on a wheat bag to provide a steady work platform.
