5) Grinding discs, sanding drums or
other accessories must match the
grinding spindle or collet chuck of
your power tool exactly. Accessory
tools which do not fit precisely into the take-
up of the power tool will rotate unevenly,
vibrate severely and can lead to a loss of
control.
6) Discs, grinding cylinders, cutting
tools or other accessories mounted
on a mandrel must be completely
inserted in the collet or chuck. Any
"protrusion" or exposed parts of
the mandrel between the grinding
tool and the collet or chuck must be
kept to a minimum. If the mandrel is
not sufficiently tightened or the grinding tool
protrudes too far, the tool could come loose
and be thrown out at high speed.
7) Never use damaged accessory
tools. Before each use, check
accessory tools such as grinding
discs for chips or cracks, sanding
drums for cracks or excessive
wear and tear and wire brushes
for loose or broken wires. If the
power tool or the accessory tool
in use is dropped, check to see if it
is damaged or use an undamaged
accessory tool. When you have
checked and inserted the accessory
tool, ensure that you and any
other people in the vicinity remain
outside of the range of the rotating
accessory tool and allow the tool to
rotate at maximum speed for one
minute. Damaged accessory tools usually
break during this test period.
8) Wear personal protective
equipment. Depending on the
application, ensure that you use
full face protection, eye protection
or goggles. If required, use a dust
mask, ear protectors, protective
gloves or a special apron to protect
you from grindings and material
particles. Protect your eyes from flying
debris that may be created during certain
applications. Dust or filter masks must
be used to filter any dust created by the
application. If you are exposed to loud
noise for any length of time, you may suffer
hearing loss.
9) Ensure that other people remain
at a safe distance from your
workspace. Anyone who enters
the workspace must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of the
work piece or broken accessory tools can
fly off and cause injury – even outside the
immediate working area.
10) Hold the power tool only by the
insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the
accessory tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
live cable can also make metal parts of the
appliance live and could result in an electric
shock.
11) Always hold the power tool firmly.
When running up to full speed, the torque of
the motor can cause the power tool to twist.
