Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding,
wire brushing, polishing, carving or abrasive cut-
ting-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, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
d) 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.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories can-
not be adequately controlled.
f) 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.
g) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cut-
ters or other accessories must be fully inserted
into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insuffi-
ciently held and/or the overhang of the wheel is too
long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be
