 Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before use, always check insertion tools
for splinters and cracks, sanding pad
for cracks, wear and severe abrasion.
If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an acces-
sory, 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.
If appropriate, wear a dust mask, hearing
protection, protective gloves and/or
a special apron which protect you from
small sanding and material particles.
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.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
 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 may result
reesult in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings:
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating insertion tool, such
as a sanding disc, sanding pad, wire brush,
etc. Pinching or snagging may cause a rotating
insertion tool to stop abruptly.
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 move-
ment at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under these conditions.
For example, if a sanding disc is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
sanding disc which is entering the workpiece
may become caught and cause the sanding
disc to break off or kick back. The sanding disc
then moves towards or away from the operator,
depending on the direction in which the disc
is rotating at the point of pinching.
Sanding discs may also break under these
conditions.
A recoil occurs if the electric power tool is used
incorrectly or improperly.
A recoil can be prevented by appropriate
precautions as described below.
