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.

backing pads or any other accessory
must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool. Accessories with arbour
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.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels 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
and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
• Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable
of filtering particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
• 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 accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
• 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.
