Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing, Polishing or Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a.) This power tool is intended to function as a
sander or polisher. Failure to follow instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injuries.
b.) This electric power tool is not suitable for
grinding, wire brushing and cutting-off oper-
ations. Uses for which the power tool is not
intended can cause hazards and injuries.
c.) Do not use accessories which are not
designed or recommended by the manufac-
turer specifically for this power tool. Just
because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool does not assure safe use.
d.) The rated speed of the bits and cutters must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
specified on the power tool. Accessories that
turn faster than their rated speed can break and
fly apart.
e.) The outside diameter and thickness of the
bits and cutters must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
bits and cutters cannot be adequately guarded
or controlled.
f.) The arbour size of discs, flanges, grinding
discs or other accessories must properly fit
the grinding spindle of your power tool. Bits
and cutters that do not fit the grinding spindle
of the power tool properly will turn unevenly,
vibrate very strongly and cause loss of control.
g.) Do not use damaged bits and cutters. Before
each use, inspect bits and cutters such as
sanding discs for chips and cracks, grinding
discs for cracks, strong wear or tear, wire
brushes for loose or broken wires. If the
power tool or bits and cutters are dropped,
check for damage or install undamaged bits
and cutters. After you have inspected and
installed the bits and cutters, keep yourself
and any other persons in the vicinity away
from the plane of the rotating bits and cutters
and run the device at maximum rotational
speed for one minute. Damaged bits and cut-
ters usually break during this test time.
h.) Wear protective equipment. Depending on
the application, use full face protection, eye
protection or protective goggles. If appropri-
ate, wear a dust mask, hearing protection,
protective gloves or a special apron capable
of stopping small abrasive and material par-
ticles. The eyes are to be protected from flying
debris generated during various operations.
Dust masks or respirators must filter the dust
generated during the operation. If you are
exposed to loud noise for a long time, you may
suffer hearing loss.
i.) Keep other people at a safe distance away
from your work area. Anyone who enters the
working area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of the work piece or
broken bits and cutters can fly away and cause
injuries even beyond the immediate area of
work.
j.) Hold the device only by its insulated grip sur-
faces if you perform work where the bits and
cutters could contact hidden power cables or
your own mains cable. Contact with a live
cable can energize metal device parts and
cause electric shock.
k.) Keep the mains cable away from rotating bits
and cutters. If you lose control of the device,
the mains cable could be cut or snagged, and
your hand or your arm could get pulled into the
rotating bits and cutters.
l.) Never set down the power tool until the bits
and cutters come to a complete stop. Turning
bits and cutters grab the depositing surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
