structions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
c) 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 opera-
tion.
d) the rated speed of the grinding acces-
sories must be at least equal to the max-
imum speed marked on the power tool.
Grinding 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 ca-
pacity rating of your power tool. Incor-
rectly sized accessories cannot be ade-
quately controlled.
f) the arbour size of wheels, sanding
drums or any other accessory must
properly fit the spindle or collet of the
power tool. 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) Mandrel
mounted
drums, cutters or other accessories
must be fully inserted into the collet or
chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held
and/or the overhang of the wheel is too
long, the mounted wheel may become
loose and be ejected at high velocity.
h) Do not use a damaged accessory. before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
sanding drum 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 inspect-
ing 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 acces-
wheels,
sanding
sories will normally break apart during this
test time.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. as ap-
propriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and workshop apron ca-
pable 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 filtrat-
ing 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 workpiece or of
a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of op-
eration.
k) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an oper-
ation 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.
l) always hold the tool firmly in your
hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction
torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full
speed, can cause the tool to twist.
m) use clamps to support workpiece when-
ever practical. never hold a small work-
piece in one hand and the tool in the
other hand while in use. Clamping a small
workpiece allows you to use your hand(s)
to control the tool. Round material such as
dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a ten-
dency to roll while being cut, and may
cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
n) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord
may be cut or snagged and your hand or
