Flex Shaft Grinder Safety Warnings
1.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.
2.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.
3.Do not bend the Flexible Shaft (21) at more than a 90° angle. Kinks or crimps in the Flexible Shaft will result in inefficient tool operation and create a safety hazard.
4.Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
5.Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
6.Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
7.When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.
8.Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
