Operations for which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
-
Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-
signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.

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.
Acces-
sories
running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly
apart.
-
The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-
sory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded
or controlled.
- The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any
other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the pow-

spect 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 power tool or ac-
cessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an un-
damaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an ac-
cessory, 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 acces-
sories will normally break apart during this test time.
- Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on ap-
plication, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glass-
es. 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 op-
erations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrat-
ing particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
-
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal pro-
tective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate
area of operation.

when performing an operation where the cutting acces-
sory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an
electric shock.
