g) 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, wire, 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.
h) Wear appropriate grinding tool personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust a mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and a 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.
i) Keep bystanders at 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 the immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the 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 could
give the operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control,
the cord may be cut or snagged, potentially causing harm to the operator.
l) Ensure the power tool is switched off whilst carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
m)Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw
in dust and debris into the housing. Excessive accumulation of powdered
metals may cause electrical hazards.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks
could ignite these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or
other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
• Use the correct type of sanding or polishing accessory for the task and
material being worked on. Check the label on the disc or accessory to
find out if it is appropriate to use on the workpiece.
• The maximum speed of the accessory must always be higher than the
maximum speed of the machine on which they are mounted
• Ensure that the accessory is fitted correctly and securely before use.
Run the machine with the disc or accessory fitted, but without load, for
a reasonable time before attempting to cut/grind. If excessive vibration
occurs, stop the machine, investigate and correct the cause before use.
Seek professional guidance if you are in doubt about how to operate the
machine safely
• All discs and accessories must be checked before installation. If a disc
is damaged in any way, such as by being chipped, fractured, warped or
misshapen, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD. If you are unsure about whether
a disc is safe to operate, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
• Always ensure that accessories are suitable to use. Check the expiry date
on the label. Resin-based and other grinding and cutting discs CANNOT
SAFELY BE USED beyond their expiry date
• Do not allow discs to become wet or contaminated with oil. If you suspect
that a disc has degraded in storage, or if you are unsure about whether
its expiry date has passed, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
• Do not attempt to sand, polish, cut or grind magnesium or any alloy that
has high magnesium content
• Hold the machine appropriately to ensure that debris produced does not
land on skin or clothing
• Do not operate the spindle lock while the tool is running
6
• Discs will continue to rotate for some time after the machine has
been switched off. Allow the moving parts to stop completely without
interference. Do not try to stop the machine by holding an object against
the disc. NEVER place the tool down until the disc has completely
stopped moving
