1.- Machine-specific SafetyWarnings
1.1.- Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cut-
ting-Off Operations
→
This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus-
trations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
→
This power tool is not recommended for
polishing. 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 acces-
sory 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 fast-
er 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. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded
or controlled.
→
The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool. Accesso-
ries with arbor holes 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, back-
ing pads for cracks, tears or excess wear,
wire brushes for loose or cracked wires. If
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged acces-
sory.

After inspecting and installing an ac-
cessory, position your self and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating acces-
sory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged ac-
cessories 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 appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece frag-
ments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by vari-
ous operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles gener-
ated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
→
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
the work area. Anyone entering the work ar-
ea must wear personal protective equip-
ment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury be-
yond immediate area of operation.
→
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an oper-
ation where the cutting accessory may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
→
Position the cord clear of the spinning ac-
cessory. If you lose control of the power tool,
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 ac-
cessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface 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 clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
