c) 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.
d) 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.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannon be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the
arbour hole of the accessory must fit
the locating diameter of the flange.
Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will
run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each use inspect the accessory
such as abrasive wheel 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.
h) 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.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away
(Original instructions)
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.
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 and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.

operations
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.
