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) T
he 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 cannot be adequately guarded
or controlled.
f)
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour 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 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.
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 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.
