Tuckpointing Safety Rules
• 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.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to
the maximum speed marked on the power tool Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
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 guarded or
controlled.
The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other
accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Accessories with arbor holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
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.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and shock the operator.
Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The
side handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool
at all times.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect
the accessory such as diamond wheel for chips and cracks,
backing pad 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.
