ing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.

and
not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are
not specifically designed and recom-
mended by the tool manufacturer. Just
because the accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe op-
eration.
▪ Never mount circular blades or grinding
wheels for angle grinders.
▪ Use only accessories appropriate for
the processed material and the rotation
speed.
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. In-
correctly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded
mounting
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 mount-
ing 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. Be-
fore each use inspect the accessory
such as backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspect-
ing and installing an accessory, posi-
tion 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 acces-
sories 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 fil-
of
