Special safety instructions.
Safety Warnings common for Grind-
ing, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abra-
sive Cutting Off Operations
This power tool is to be used as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, cut-off grinder and for
cutting tiles. Observe all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to fol-
low all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Operations such as polishing are not recom-
mended to be performed with this power
tool. Operations for which the power tool
was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specif-
ically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the acces-
sory can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
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.
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.
Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For acces-
sories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole
of the accessory must fit the locating diam-
eter of the flange. Accessories that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate exces-
sively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, back-
ing 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 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 testtime.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use a face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or work piece frag-
ments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by vari-
ous operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles gener-
ated by your operation. Prolonged expo-
sure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
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 fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing opera-
tions where the application tool could con-
tact hidden wires. Contact with a "live" wire
will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and shock the operator.
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.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spin-
ning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of pow-
dered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flamma-
ble materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid cool-
ants may result in electrocution or shock.
