Power Tool-Specific Safety Warnings
▶ Safety Warnings Common
for Grinding, Sanding, Wire
Brushing, and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations
This power tool is intended to function
as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off
tool. Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may re-
sult in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Operations such as polishing are not rec-
ommended to be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the
power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not spe-
cifically designed and recommended by
the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
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.
The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool. In-
correctly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For ac-
cessories mounted by flanges, the arbour
hole of the accessory must fit the locat-
ing 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.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing 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 inspect-
ing 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 accesso-
ries will normally break apart during this
test time.
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
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 fil-
trating particles generated by your opera-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of op-
eration.
Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping 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 could give the opera-
tor an electric shock.
Position the cord clear of the spinning ac-
cessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm
may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the sur-
face and pull the power tool out of your
control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your cloth-
ing, pulling the accessory into your body.
