Instruction & User Manual
m
Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape
for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
m
Do not use worn down wheels from
larger power tools.
Wheels intended for
larger tools are not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
m
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.
m
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.
m
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.
m
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 the 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.
m
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.
m
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.
