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.
- Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mount-
ed by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory
must be fit the locating diameter of the flange. Ac-
cessories that do not match 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, in-
spect for damage or install an undamaged acces-
sory. 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.
- 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 ca-
pable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece frag-
ments. The eye protection must be capable of stop-
ping flying debris generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged ex-
posure 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 work-
piece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfac-
es 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 could give the operator an electric shock.
- Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
