c)
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.
d)
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory
must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannon be adequately guarded
or controlled.
e)
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of
the power tool.
Accessories with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
f)
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel for chips
and cracks, backing pad 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.
g)
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop 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.
h)
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.
i)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory 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 shock the operator.
j)
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.
k)
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.
l)
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.
m)
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.
n)
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
o)
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
