guarded or controlled.
f) 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.

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.

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.

h) 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.

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.

area must wear personal protective equipment.

broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
