4. Special Safety Instructions
4.1
Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing,
carving or abrasive cutting-off
operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher, carving
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) Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the grinding accessories
must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break and
fly apart.
d) 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 controlled.
e) The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or
any other accessory must properly fit the
spindle or collet 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.
f) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums,
cutters or other accessories must be fully
inserted into the collet or chuck. The
"overhang" or free section of the mandrel
between the grinding tool and collet or chuck
must be as small as possible. If the mandrel is
insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the wheel
is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose
and be ejected at high velocity.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding
drum 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.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
