Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing, Polishing,
Carving or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
•
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher,
carving or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
•
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool,
it does not assure safe operation.
•
The rated speed of the grinding accessories must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
•
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately controlled.
•
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.
•
Mandrel-mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the
overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be
ejected at high velocity.
•
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 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.
•
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. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
