Special safety instructions.

Safety warnings common for sanding,
working with wire brushes, polishing,
grinding, sanding with sanding discs
or cut-off grinding:
This power tool is to be used as a grinder,
wire brush, polisher, for grinding, sanding
with sanding discs and as a cut-off grinder.
Observe all safety warnings, instructions,
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.
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.
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.
Grinding wheels, sanding drums or other
accessories must exactly fit the grinder spin-
dle or collet of your power tool. Application
tools that do not fit exactly in the tool holder
of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of con-
trol.
Grinding wheels, sanding drums or cutting
tools mounted on a mandrel, or other acces-
sories must be fully inserted into the collet or
chuck. The projecting end "as well as the free
part of the mandrel between the grinding
accessory and the collet/chuck must be mini-
mal". If the mandrel is insufficiently clamped
or if the overhang of the grinding accessory is
too long, the application tool may become
loose and ejected at high velocity.
Do not use damaged application tools. Before
each use, check application tools such as
grinding wheels for chips and cracks, sanding
drums for cracks, wear or heavy use, and
wire brushes for loose or broken wires. If the
machine or application tool is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged
application tool. After inspecting and install-
ing the application tool, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotat-
ing application tool and run the machine at
maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged application tools will normally
break apart during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
safety glasses must be capable of protecting
against flying particles generated by the vari-
ous operations. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause loss of hearing.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken acces-
sory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated grip-
ping surfaces when performing operations
where the application tool could contact hid-
den wires. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and shock the operator.
Always hold the power tool firmly when start-
ing it. The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the power
tool to twist.
If possible, use clamps to fasten or affix the
workpiece. Never hold a small workpiece in
one hand and the power tool in the other hand
while in use. Clamping small workpieces
allows you to use both hands for better con-
trol the power tool. Round material such as
dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency
to roll away while being cut, and may cause
the application tool to jam or bind and be
thrown toward you.
Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spin-
ning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
