• Do not use damaged accessories. Inspect the accessory and make sure there are
no splits or cracks in the grinding wheels; cracks or wear and tear on the backing
plates, or loose or torn bristles on the steel brush wheels. If you drop your power
tool or accessory, check for damage. If the accessory is damaged, use a new/
undamaged accessory. After inspecting the tool and attaching an accessory, keep
yourself and others outside of the power tool’s danger zone and let it run at full
speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break during this test
period.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on how you use the machine; use
a visor/face protection or safety glasses. If necessary use a mask, ear protection,
gloves, and apron/work clothing to protect you from small shards of metal or
splinters from the work object. The eye protection you use must be able to
protect against flying debris produced in different working positions. The breathing
protection should be able to filter any particles produced by the work. Prolonged
exposure to high levels of noise can result in hearing damage.
• Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Everyone who visits
the place of work must wear personal protective equipment. Debris from the
workpiece or from a damaged accessory can fly off and injury people outside of
the immediate work area.
• Only hold the power tool by its isolated grip when working in positions where the
cut-off wheel might possibly cut through hidden cables or its own mains lead. Cut-
off wheels which come in contact with an electric cable can electrify metal parts of
the power tool and subject the user to an electric shock.
• Position the mains lead well away from the rotating accessory. If you lose control,
the lead can be sliced through or become entangled and pull your hand or arm
into the rotating accessory.
• Never put the power tool down before the accessory has completely stopped
rotating. The rotating accessory can become stuck in the material resulting in
loss of control.
• Do not run the power tool when you are carrying it. Unintentional contact with the
rotating accessory can cause clothing to become caught and pull the tool towards
your body.
• Regularly clean the motor’s ventilation ports. The motor’s fan pulls in dust, which
gets inside the outer casing and a build up of this collected metal dust can lead to
electrical dangers.
• Do not use the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks can easily ignite
flammable material.
• Do not use accessories which require liquid coolants. The use of water or other
liquid coolants can result in electric shock or electrocution.
