(f) 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.
(g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backling 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. Damages accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
(h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the 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.
(i) 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.
(j) 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.
(k) 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 control.
(l) 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.
(m) Regulary 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.
(n) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
(o) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
(p) Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to
spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangie your fingers
or snag on the workpiece.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush
or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of
the rotating accessory which in turn causes
the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory's
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can
dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel
may either jump toward or away from the
operator, depending on direction of the
wheel's movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
(a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
