4. Special Safety Instructions

4.1 Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cut-
ting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all the instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as polishing are not recom-
mended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specif-
ically designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
d) 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.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized acces-
sories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) 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 hard-
ware 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 abra-
sive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If a power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, posi-
tion 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.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping 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 filtering
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 opera-
tion.
j) Hold 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 shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
I) 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
