c) The permissible rotational speed of the insertion tool must be at least as high

as the maximum rotational speed indicated on the power tool.
Accessories that rotate at a speed that is faster than the permissible speed can break
and fly around.

d) The external diameter and thickness of the insertion tool must correspond to

the stated measurements of your electrical tool.
Incorrectly dimensioned insertion tools cannot be shielded or controlled sufficiently.

e) Grinding disks, a flange, grinding pads or other accessories must fit perfectly

upon the grinding spindle of your power tool.
Insertion tools, which do not fit exactly upon the grinding spindle of your power
tool rotate unevenly, vibrate very markedly and can lead to a loss of control.

f) Do not use any damaged insertion tools. Check every time prior to using

insertion tools as well as grinding disks whether there is evidence of parts

chipping off and fissures, check the grinding pads for evidence of fissures,

wear and tear or marked abrasion, check the wire brushes for evidence of

loose or broken wires. If the power tool or the insertion tool falls on the floor

inspect whether it is damaged or use an undamaged insertion tool. Once you

have controlled and inserted the insertion tool, you and people in the vicinity

should stay in a position that is outside of the level of the rotating insertion

tool and allow the tool to operate for a minute at the maximum rotational

speed.
Damaged insertion tools generally break during the test period.

g) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the work being

performed wear a safety mask covering your whole face, eye protection or

safety goggles. If appropriate wear a dust mask, ear protection, safety gloves

or special aprons, which keep small grinding and material particles away from

you.
Your eyes should be protected from foreign bodies that are flying around, which
are produced during various applications. Dust or breathing masks must filter the
dust that is generated during the application. You can suffer a hearing loss if you are
exposed to loud noise for a long period of time.

h) Ensure that other people keep a safe distance away from your working

area. Everyone who enters the working area must wear personal protective

equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken insertion tools can fly off and even cause
injuries outside of the direct working area.

Only hold the tool on the insulated handle if you are performing work in which

the insertion tool can strike concealed power lines or its own mains cable.
Contact with live lines can also charge metallic tool parts and lead to an electric
shock.

Keep the mains cable away from rotating insertion tools.
If you lose control of the tool the mains cable can be severed or caught up and your
hand or your arm can be caught in the rotating insertion tool.
