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

After inspec-ting and
installing an accessory, position

protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments.

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.
