Safety instructions for all
operations
Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing, carving
or abrasive cutting-off operations
• This power tool is intended to function
as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher,
carving or cut-off tool.
• Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and speci� cations provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, � re and/or serious injury.
• Do not use accessories which are not
speci� cally designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because
the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
• The rated speed of the grinding
accessories must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Grinding accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and � y
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 controlled.
• The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums
or any other accessory must properly
� t the spindle or collet of the power
tool. Accessories that do not match
the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
• Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding
drums, cutters or other accessories must
be fully inserted into the collet or chuck.
If the mandrel is insuffi ciently held and/
or the overhang of the wheel is too long,
the mounted wheel may become loose
and be ejected at high velocity.

• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
sanding drum 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, 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
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping � ying debris
generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable
of � ltrating 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 � y 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 could give the
operator an electric shock.
