For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
a) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use, inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheel for chips and cracks. 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.
b) 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.
c) Never grind on the sides of a grinding wheel.
Grinding on the side can cause the wheel to break
and fly apart.
The sanding disc must match the machine.
Observe the maximum sanding disc diameter and
thickness. The hole diameter must match the back
flange without play. Do not use adapters or
reducers.
