Die grinders can cause flying particles.
Proper eye protection must be worn at all times by tool user and bystanders.
Flying particles can cause eye injury.
Power tools generate noise.
Ear protection must be worn when tool noise level exceeds 85 dBA. We also recommend that ear protection be worn when the tool
noise level is below 85 dBA. See the tool’s information sheet for the noise level. Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include
actions such as damping materials to prevent work pieces from “ringing”. Always ensure that the muffler material is in the die grinder.
Support the weight of the tool in a stand or balancer whenever possible. Hold the tool with a light but secure grip. Always hold tightly
enough to counteract reaction forces but know that the risks due to vibration are greater when the grip force is higher.
Prolonged exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Power tools vibrate.
Excessive vibration can cause injury. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a
physician. See the tool’s information sheet for the vibration level.
