d) Use special care when working around corners,
sharp edges etc. You must prevent accessories
from bouncing off the power tool and becoming
jammed.
A rotating accessory tends to jam around corners
and sharp edges and also if bouncing occurs, thus
causing loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
GRINDING WITH DIAMOND CUP WHEELS
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specifi c guard designed
for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The safety guard must be securely attached
to the power tool. Always direct the power tool
so that the wheel is not openly exposed to the
operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from broken
fragments, accidental contact with the wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.

the correct size and shape for your selected
accessories.
The correct fl anges support the accessories.
