• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use, inspect the accessory,
such as abrasive wheels, for chips and cracks. If the power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect it 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 the application, use a
face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear a dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and a 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 filtering particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of a
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the
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 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.
• Use the right size of wheel guard when grinding with different size wheel.
Misuse of wheel guard will possibly cause personal injury.
