tions 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 grinding, wire brushing, pol-
ishing or cutting-off 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 manufac-
turer. Just because the accessory can be attached to

can break and fly apart.
-The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
- Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mount-
ed by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory
must be fit the locating diameter of the flange. Ac-
cessories that do not match 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 ca-
pable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece frag-
ments. 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 work-
piece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.

has come to a complete stop. The spinning acces-
sory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out
of your control.
