Safety Warnings Common for Grinding
or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
This power tool is intended to function as
a grinder 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 sanding, wire
brushing or polishing are not recommen-
ded 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.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
