f. Discs, grinding cylinders, cutting tools or other accessories mounted
on a mandrel must be completely inserted in the collet or chuck. Any
"protrusion" or exposed parts of the mandrel between the grinding
tool and the collet or chuck must be kept to a minimum. If the mandrel
is not sufficiently tightened or the grinding tool protrudes too far, the
tool could come loose and been thrown out at high speed.
g. Never use damaged accessory tools. Before each use, check accessory
tools such as grinding discs for chips or cracks, sanding drums for cracks,
wearing or excessive wear and tear and wire brushes for loose or broken
wires. If the power tool or the accessory tool in use is dropped, check
to see if it is damaged or use an undamaged accessory tool. When you
have checked and inserted the accessory tool, ensure that you and any
other people in the vicinity remain outside of the range of the rotating
accessory tool and allow the tool to rotate at maximum speed for one
minute. Damaged accessory tools usually break during this test period.
h. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application,
ensure that you use full face protection, eye protection or goggles. If
required, use a dust mask, ear protectors, protective gloves or special
apron to protect you from grindings and material particles. Protected
your eyes from flying debris that may be created during certain applica-
tions. Dust or filter masks must be used to filter any dust created by the
application. If you are exposed to loud noise for any length of time, you
may suffer hearing loss.
i. Ensure that other people remain at a safe distance to your workspace.
Anyone who enters the workspace must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or broken accessory tools can
fly off and cause injury – even outside the immediate working area.
j. Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when per-
forming an operation where the accessory tool may contact hidden wir-
ing or its own cord. Contact with a live cable can also make metal parts
of the appliance live and could result in an electric shock.
k. Always hold the power tool firmly. When running up to full speed, the
torque of the motor can cause the power tool to twist.
l. If possible, use clamps to hold the workpiece in position. Never hold a
small workpiece in one hand and the power tool in the other while you
are using it. By clamping small workpieces, you keep both hands free
for better control of the power tool. When cutting round workpieces
such as dowels, rods or pipes, be aware that these can roll away and this
can cause the tool to jam and be thrown towards you.
m. Hold the power cord away from any rotating accessories. If you lose
control of the appliance, the cord may get cut or caught and your hand
or arm could get caught in the rotating accessory tool.
n. Never put the power tool down until the accessory tool has come to a
