2. Machine-specific Safety Warnings
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush 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.
This power tool is not recommended for polishing.
Operations for which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
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.
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.
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.
The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any
other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool.
Accessories with arbor holes that do not match
the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use,
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pads for cracks, tears or
excess wear, wire brushes 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.
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.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the 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.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you
lose control of the power tool, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
