This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, hole cutter or cut-off tool. Read all

cifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to fol-
low all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
u
Operations such as polishing are not to be performed
with this power tool.
Operations for which the power
tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause per-
sonal injury.

which is not specifically designed and specified by the
tool manufacturer.
Such a conversion may result in a
loss of control and cause serious personal injury.
u
Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-
signed and specified by the tool manufacturer.
Just
because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
u
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.
u
The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
u
The dimensions of the accessory mounting must fit
the dimensions of the mounting hardware 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.
u
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use in-
spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels 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 in-
stall an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystand-
ers 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.

Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-
erated by various applications. The dust mask or respir-
ator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by
the particular application. Prolonged exposure to high in-
tensity noise may cause hearing loss.
u
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.
u
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
u
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 con-
trol.
u
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
