Do not use a damaged accessory in all cases. Before each use, inspect the accessory such
as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pads for cracks, tears or excess wear,
wire brushes for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged ac-
cessory. 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 fl ying debris generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable of fi ltrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fl y away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
