Additional security warnings
Grinding, sanding, wire brushing, polishing or abrasive cutting operations
This power tool is designed to function as a grinder, sander, planer, wire brush, polisher,
or cutting tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions may result in electrical shock, fire, and/or
serious injury.
•
Do not use this tool in operations for which it was not designed. Otherwise, it may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
•
Do not use accessories and fixtures or tools that are not specifically designed
and recommended by the tool manufacturer. The fact that the accessory can be
attached to the power tool does not guarantee safe operation.
• The rated speed of the blade must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. A tool that has a higher speed than the tool can eject
it from its clamping.
•
The outside diameter and thickness of the disc must be within the rated capacity
of your guards. Improperly sized accessories cannot be properly stored or
controlled.
• The assembly of threaded tools must coincide with the thread of the spindle of
the grinder. For flange mounted fittings, the fitting hole must fit the mounting
diameter of the flange.
•
Do not use the damaged cutting tool. Before each use, check the cutting discs,
make sure they do not have cracks, tears or excessive wear; check wire brush
for loose or cracked wires. Dull bits cause the tool to strain too much. If the power
tool is dropped, inspect for damage and replace if necessary.
After inspecting and installing a tool, stand in a safe area and check that no one
is in the work area when you run the power tool at full speed with no load for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break during this testing time.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Wear face shield, safety glasses. If
necessary, dust masks, ear protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or chip fragments. Eye protection must be capable of
stopping debris and flying particles generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtering the particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
• Keep people out of the work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or a broken
accessory can break loose and cause injury beyond the immediate area of
operation.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the tool or cutting tool may come into contact with cables and/or
pipes (including its own cable). It may cause an accident or electric shock to the
operator.
• Position the tool cable away from the rotating tool. If you lose control, the cable
may be cut or snagged causing serious accidents.
• Never let go of the power tool until the cutting tool has come to a complete stop.
•
Do not operate the power tool while carrying it by your side. Accidental contact
with the disk could snag her clothing, pulling it closer to her body.
