Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire-brushing, cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with
this
power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c)
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 accessory must be
at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e)
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 guarded or controlled.

Threaded mounting of accessories must match the GRINDER spindle thread. For accessories mounted by
FLANGES, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the FLANGE.
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)
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 a power tool
or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing
an accesso
ry, 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.

glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive o
r 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 filtering particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i)
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
j)
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripp
ing surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may cont
act hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and give the operator an electric shock.

Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
I)
Never lay the power tool down until
the accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

Do not run the power tool while carrying it
at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

Do not operate the power tool
near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p)
Do not use accessories that require liqu
id coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution
