(Original instructions)
Safety warnings specific for grinding operations
a. Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b. 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 and sparks that could ignite clothing.
c. Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
d. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different
from grinding wheel flanges.
e. Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
f. The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be
mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly
mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip
cannot be adequately protected.
Additional safety information
•
Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using
inappropriate accessories can result in injury.
•
Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The
side handle should always be used to maintain control of the
tool at all times.
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Personal safety
•
No children or pregnant women should enter the work rea
where the paint sanding is being done until all cleanup is
completed.
•
A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or
whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
NOTE: only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint
dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not
offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the NIOSH
approved proper mask.
