Safety Warnings Specifi c for Grinding
Operations
a. Use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool and the
specifi c guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was
not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
b. The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel
and sparks that could ignite clothing.
c. Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
d. Always use undamaged wheel fl anges
that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel fl anges support
the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel fl anges.
e. Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of
a smaller tool and may burst.
