g)
fore 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

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 accessories
will normally break apart during this test time.

surfaces only, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
