designed for cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
2.2 The grinding surface of center 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.
2.3 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.)
2.4 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.
2.5 Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. A wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
3. Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive cutting-off operations:
3.1 Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut. Over stressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
3.2 Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback
may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
3.3 When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the
power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is
in motion, otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
3.4 Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool
is restarted in the workpiece.
3.5 Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching
and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
3.6 Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
4. Safety warnings specific for sanding operations:
4.1 Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing
of the disc or kickback.
5. Safety warnings specific for polishing operations:
5.1 Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning
