Safety instructions for all operations
Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing or
cutting-off operations:
1. This power tool is intended to function
as a grinder, sander, wire brush,
polisher, hole cutter or cut-off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
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.
2. Operations such as grinding, sanding,
wire brushing, polishing, hole cutting
or cutting-off are not to be performed
with this power tool. Operations for which
the power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
3. Do not convert this power tool to operate in a
way which is not specifically designed
and specified by the tool manufacturer.
Such a conversion may result in a loss of control
and cause serious personal injury.
4. Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and specified by
the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. The dimensions of the accessory
mounting must fit the dimensions of the
mounting hardware of the power tool.
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.
8. 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.

9. 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 debrisgenerated by various applications.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by the particular
application. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
10.Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only. When performing
an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
11. 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.
12.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.
13.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.
14.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.
15.Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
16.Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Further safety instructions for all
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.
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
