Do not use defective or incomplete guard.
g) Use only grinding media approved for your
guard.
Grinding media for which the guard was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and
are unsafe.
h) Treaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread.
i)For accessories mounted by flanges, the
arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange.
Accessories that do not match themounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
j) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush
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.
k) 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 protectionmust 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.
l) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area.Anyone entering the work areamust
wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
m) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
n) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or armmay be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
o) 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.
p) 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.
q) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
Themotor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
r) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
s) 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, depending on direction
of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool
misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
