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 for which
the power tool was not designed may create a hazard
and cause personal injury.

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.

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.

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.
