e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits,
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b) Always arrange for the replacement of the
plug or the power cord to be carried out by
the manufacturer of the appliance or by his
approved customer services. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

PWBS 180 B3
c) Do not use any accessories that have not
been specifically provided or recommended
by the manufacturer for this power tool. Just
because you can attach the accessories to your
power tool does not guarantee they are safe to
use.
d) The maximum speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool. Accesso-
ries which rotate faster than the maximum
permissible rate can break and throw pieces
into the air.
e) The external diameter and thickness of the
accessory tool used must comply with the
dimensions of the power tool. Incorrectly
dimensioned accessory tools cannot be suffi-
ciently shielded or controlled.
f) Attachment tools with a thread insert must
match the thread of the grinding spindle
exactly. For attachment tools that are
mounted using a flange, the diameter of the
hole on the attachment tool must correspond
to the width of the fitting on the flange. Acces-
sory tools that cannot be firmly fitted to the
power tool rotate unevenly, vibrate severely and
can lead to a loss of control.
g) Never use damaged accessory tools. Before
each use, check tools such as grinding discs
for chipping and cracks, grinding discs for
cracks, wear or heavy wear. If the power tool
or the accessory tool in use is dropped, check
to see if it is damaged or use an undamaged
accessory tool. When you have checked and
inserted the accessory tool, ensure that you
and any other people in the vicinity remain
outside of the level of the rotating accessory
tool and allow the tool to rotate at maximum
speed for one minute. Damaged accessories
usually break during the test period.
