brush. Do not use a damaged brush or one that
is functioning improperly (throwing wires, out-
of-balance, etc.). These conditions increase the
possibility of further brush failure and possible
injury. Discard and replace damaged brushes
immediately.
If you have just installed an accessory or are
beginning a period of work, test the wheel by
letting it spin for one minute before applying it to
the workpiece.

Never use a accessory that has
been dropped. Out-of-balance or
damaged accessories can mar workpiece,
damage the tool, and cause stress that may
cause accessory failure.

hands. Start the tool.
WARNING
Never bang accessory onto
work.Too much pressure causes
accessory failure or slows speed.

(as in grinding) will cause the Wheel
to crack and break, resulting in serious personal
injury.
Everyone in the area must wear
protective clothing and safety
goggles or face shields marked to comply with
AS/NZS 1337.1. Fatigued wires and residue will
fly off the brush with considerable force,
causing potential for serious injury.
