power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
g) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle
of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
h) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pads for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brushes 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 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.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or work piece 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.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of the work piece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.
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.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
