product and when they are required.
Ensure that the abrasive product is correctly mounted and tightened before use and
run the tool at no-load for 30 s in a safe position, stop immediately if there is
considerable vibration or if other defects are detected. If this condition occurs, check
the machine to determine the cause.
If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to adapt large hole abrasive
wheels. For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the
thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.
Check that the work piece is properly supported.
Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding.
Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create a hazard e.g. do not hit persons
or ignite flammable substances.

it should become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains
supply (use nonmetallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
Always use eye and ear protection. Other personal protective equipment such as
dust mask. Gloves, helmet and apron should be worn.
