 tool. 

Accessories running faster than their rated speed

  can break and fly apart.

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 the power tool or accessory is 

dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged

  accessory. After inspecting and installing an

  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.

u

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.

u

Hold the 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.
