This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Wire
Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
•
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
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.
•
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.
•
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 or its own cord.
Contacting a live wire might energize exposed metal parts
of the device and lead to 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.
