holes 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 of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.

stopping flying debris generated by various operations . The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation.

immediate area of operation.
j)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its

cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
