Do not use any accessories that have
not been provided or recommended
by the manufacturer for this power
tool.
Just because you can attach the
accessories to your power tool, does not
ensure they are safe to use.
The permissible speed of the accessory
tool used must be at least as high as
the maximum speed specified for the
power tool.
Accessories that rotate faster
than the permissible rate can break and
throw pieces into the air.
The external diameter and thickness of
the accessory tool used must comply
with the dimensions of the power tool.
Incorrectly dimensioned accessory tools
cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.
d)
Grinding discs, sanding drums or other
accessories must match the grinding
spindle or collet chuck of your power
tool exactly.
Accessory tools which do
not fit precisely into the take-up of the
power tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate
severely and can lead to a loss of control.
e)
Discs, grinding cylinders, cutting tools
or other accessories mounted on a
mandrel must be completely inserted
in the collet or chuck.
Any "protrusion"
or exposed parts of the mandrel between
the grinding tool and the collet or chuck
must be kept to a minimum. If the mandrel
is not sufficiently tightened or the grinding
tool protrudes too far, the tool could come
loose and been thrown out at high speed.
f)
Never use damaged accessory tools.
Before each use, check accessory tools
such as grinding discs for chips or cracks,
sanding drums for cracks, wearing or ex-
cessive wear and tear and wire brushes
for loose or broken wires. If the power tool
or the accessory tool in use is dropped,
check to see if it is damaged or use an
undamaged accessory tool. When you
have checked and inserted the accessory
tool, ensure that you and any other people
in the vicinity remain outside of the range
of the rotating accessory tool and allow
the tool to rotate at maximum speed for
one minute. Damaged accessory tools
usually break during this test period.

h)
c)
Ensure that other people remain at a
safe distance to your workspace.
Anyone who enters the workspace must
wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken
accessory tools can fly off and cause
injury – even outside the immediate
working area.
i)
Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool has come to a complete
standstill.
The rotating accessory tool can
come into contact with the surface and
cause you to lose control of the power tool.
n)
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the accessory tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a live cable can also make
metal parts of the appliance live and could
result in an electric shock.
k)
Always hold the power tool firmly.
When
running up to full speed, the torque of the
motor can cause the power tool to twist.
l)
If possible, use clamps to hold the work-
piece in position.
Never hold a small work-
piece in one hand and the power tool in
the other while you are using it. By clamp-
ing small workpieces, you keep both
hands free for better control of the power
tool. When cutting round workpieces such
as dowels, rods or pipes, be aware that
these can roll away and this can cause
the tool to jam and be thrown towards you.
m)
Hold the power cord away from any
rotating accessories.
If you lose control
of the appliance, the cord may get cut or
caught and your hand or arm could get
caught in the rotating accessory tool.
