a. This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder 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. Operations such as sanding, wire brushing,
polishing or cutting-off are not recommended
to be performed with this power tool. O
perations
for which the power tool was not designed may create
a hazard and cause personal injury.
c. 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.
d. The rated speed of the accessory must beat least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
e. The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories
cannon be adequately guarded or controlled.
f. Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbor hole of the
accessory must fit the locating 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.
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 by standers
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. 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 the power tool by insulated gripping
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 shock the operator.
k. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
