recommended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c)
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
d)
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool.
A
ccessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e)
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately 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.
Accessories that do not
match the mounting 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. 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.
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.
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.
i)
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.
j)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.

If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
