c) Do not use accessories which are not specifi
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
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. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories 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
mounting 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. 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 undam
aged 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 noload
speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depend
ing 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.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Frag-
ments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immedi-
ate area of operation.

j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hid
den wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the acces
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
m) 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.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the hous-
ing and excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid cool
ants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC
FOR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Cut-off operations are only suitable with
a special protection guard (not included).
a) Do not "jam" the cutoff wheel or apply ex
cessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to
twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at
the point of operation, is moving away from your
body, the possible kickback may propel the spin-
ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the power tool motionless until the
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the cutoff wheel from the cut while
the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
