Safety warnings common for grinding and
working with wire brushes:
This power tool is to be used as a grinder
and wire brush. Observe all safety warn-
ings, instructions, representations and
data supplied with the power tool. When not
observing the following instructions, electric
shock, fire and/or serious injuries can occur.
This power tool is not suitable for sanding
with sanding discs, polishing and cut-off
grinding. Applications that the power tool is
not intended for can cause dangers and lead
to injuries.
Do not use accessories which are not spe-
cifically designed and recommended by
the tool manufacturer. Just because the ac-
cessory 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 run-
ning faster than their rated speed can 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 arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories
with arbour holes that do not match the mount-
ing 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, tear or excess
wear, wire brushes 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 your-
self 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. De-
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stop-

ping flying debris generated by various opera-
tions. The dust mask or respirator must be ca-
pable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high inten-
sity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective equip-
ment. Fragments of the workpiece or of a bro-
ken accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond the immediate area of operation.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own power cord. Con-
tact 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 ac-
cessory. If you lose control, 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 ac-
cessory 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 spin-
ning accessory could snag your clothing, pull-
ing 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 pow-
dered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flamma-
ble materials. Sparks could ignite these mate-
rials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can
dig into the surface of the material causing the
wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may
either jump toward or away from the operator,
