II. ADDITIONAL
SAFETY RULES
Safety instructions for all
operations
Safety warning common for Grinding
or Abrasive Cutting-off operations:
1)
This power tool is intended to
function as a grinder, or cut-off
tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this
power tool.
Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
2)
Operations such as sanding, wire
brushing, polishing are not
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.
3)
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.
4)
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.
5)
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.
6)
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.
7)
Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks.
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.
8)
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.
9)
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.
10)
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring. Contact with a “live” wire
will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric
shock.
