d) 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.
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) The arbour size of wheels, flanges,
backing pads or any other accessory
must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool.
Accessories with arbour
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.
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. 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 could give the operator an
electric shock.
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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants.
Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution
or shock.
Further safety instructions for all
operations
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad,
brush or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory’s
rotation at the point of the binding.
