ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1.
Always use eye and ear protection. Other per-
sonal protective equipment such as dust mask,
gloves, helmet and apron should be worn.
2.
Use only wheels with correct size and wheels
having a maximum operating speed at least as
high as the highest No Load Speed marked on
the tool's nameplate.
3.
Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
wheel immediately.
4.
Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for
correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and
store wheels with care.
5.
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
test run the tool at the highest no load speed for
at least 30 seconds in a safe position. Stop
immediately if there is any vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced wheel. Check the tool to determine the
cause.
6.
Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
7.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
8.
Make sure the wheel is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.

sparks fly away from you and other persons or
flammable materials.
10. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate
after the tool is switched off.
11. Hold the tool firmly.
12. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
13. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
14. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
15. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure
no one is below when using the tool in high
locations.
16. Do not use the tool on any materials containing
asbestos.
17. Do not use water or grinding lubricant.
18. Do not use this tool as cutter.
19. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear
when working in dusty conditions. If it should
become necessary to clear dust, first discon-
nect the tool from the mains supply (use non
metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal
parts.
