f) The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle
or collet of the power tool.
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) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums,
cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck.
If the mandrel is
is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose
and be ejected at high velocity.
h) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use, inspect the accessory, such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose
or cracked wires. If the 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.

safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.
