Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing, Polishing, Carving or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations
a. This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, polisher, carving or cut off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b. Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c. 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.
d. The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories can not be
adequately guarded or controlled.
e. The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any
other accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet
of the power tool. 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.
f. Mandrel MOUNTED WHEELS, sanding drums, cutters
or other accessories must be fully inserted into the
collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or
the overhang of the wheel is too long,the MOUNTED
WHEEL may become loose and be ejected at high
velocity.
g. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel 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
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 various operations.

(Original instructions)
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
j. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
k. Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
l. Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical.
Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool
in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small
workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control
the tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or
tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may
cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
m. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
n. After changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other
adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose
adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of
control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
o. 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.
p. Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
q. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
r. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, sanding band, brush or any other accessory.
