g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Be-
fore each use inspect the accessory
such as abrasive wheels for chips and
cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear
or excess wear, wire brush for loose or
cracked wires. If power tool or acces-
sory 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 accesso-
ry and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during
this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending 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 fl ying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of fi lt-
rating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
i) 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 fl y away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an ope-
ration 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 pow-
er tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
k) Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(
during the start-up. The reaction torque
of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed,
can cause the tool to twist.

l) Use clamps to support workpiece whe-
never practical. Never hold a small
workpiece in one hand and the tool in the
other hand while in use. Clamping a small
workpiece allows you to use your hand( to
control the tool. Round material such as do-
wel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to
roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to
bind or jump toward you.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut,
chuck or any other adjustment devices
are securely tightened. Loose adjustment
devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss
of control, loose rotating components will be
violently thrown.
p) 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.
q) Regularly clean the power tool's air
vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumu-
lation of powdered metal may cause elec-
trical hazards.
r) Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
s) Do not use accessories that require li-
quid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
