17. Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool.
b) 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.
c) 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.
Additional safety warnings:
18. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
19. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.
20. Use the specified surface of the wheel to
perform the grinding.
21. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so
that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.
22. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
23. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
24. Always be sure that the tool is switched off
and unplugged or that the battery cartridge is
removed before carrying out any work on the
tool.
25. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.
26. Check that
supported.
27. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or
badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure
operator safety.
28. Do not use the tool on any materials
containing asbestos.
29. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
30. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear
when working in dusty conditions. If it should
become necessary
disconnect the tool from the mains supply
(use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging
internal parts.
31. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
