Keep the mains cable well away from the tool
and ensure an adequate
electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by the
length of the cable.

immediately the task is completed and be aware that the
wheel/disc will continue to rotate for a period of time after switching off.

NEVER
allow the ventilation slots in the tool to become blocked.
