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.
Operations such as polishing are not
recommended to be performed with this
power tool. 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 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.
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
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 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.
Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. 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
accessory has come to a complete stop.

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
