4.1 Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
Use
a)
This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush 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)
Operations such as polishing 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.
c)
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.
d)
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.
e)
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.
f)
Treaded 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.
g)
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.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and a 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.
i)
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.
j)
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.
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.
