  • Page 19 Safety Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive cutting off operations a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel.

  • Page 20 Safety Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive cutting off operations a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure . Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut . Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
  • Page 21 Safety Safety warnings specific for sanding operations a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper . Follow manufacturer’s recommendations, when selecting sand paper . Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
  • Page 22 Safety Machine specific safety warnings a) Use the machine only for dry sanding . Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock. b) Keep hands away from the sawing range . Do not reach under the workpiece .
