SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

Safety Warnings Common 

for Grinding or Abrasive 

Cutting-Off Operations:

a) This power tool is intended to 

function as a grinder 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.

b) 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.

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) 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.

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
