3.1 Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding:
Use
a) This guard is designed for surface grinding.
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with
this guard. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
b) This guard is not suitable for routing,
polishing, sanding, working with roughing
discs, wire brushes, parting grinder discs or
flap discs. Operations for which the guard was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended for
this guard and the power tool by the
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 correspond to the
dimensions of your guard and your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
f) Prior to each use check if parts are missing,
worn, broken, torn or damaged. Do not use
defective or incomplete guard.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
use, always check accessories for splinters or
cracks and check grinding wheels for cracks or
signs of severe wear and tear. If a 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.
h) 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
