binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s op-

Special safety warnings
Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding,
wire brushing, polishing or abrasive cutting-off
operations:
• This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher 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.
•
Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire
brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not
recommended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal injury�
• 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�
• 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.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot
be adequately guarded or controlled�
•
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�
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect 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 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�
• 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�
• 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�
• 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�
• 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�
• 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�
•
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�
• 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�
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials�
• Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock�
