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.
• 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.
• Threaded mounting of accessories
must match the grinder spindle thread.
For accessories mounted by flanges,
the arbour 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite
these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
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
