ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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, 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 or hole cutting 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 the 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 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 the particular 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
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
k ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electrical shock.
l ) 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.
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 housing 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 coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL OPERATIONS

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which
in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of
the binding.
