4. Special Safety Instructions

4.1 Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Sanding, Wire Brushing or Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush, 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.
b) Operations such as polishing 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.
c) 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.
d) Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and specified by the tool
manufacturer. Just because an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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 the 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.
i) 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 filtrating particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high-
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of the workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly
