d) The external diameter and thickness of the
accessory tool used must comply with the
dimensions of your power tool. Incorrectly
dimensioned accessory tools cannot be suffi-
ciently shielded or controlled .
e) Grinding discs, sanding drums or other acces­
sories must match the grinding spindle or
collet chuck of your power tool exactly.
Accessory tools which do not fit precisely into
the take-up of the power tool will rotate unevenly,
vibrate severely and can lead to a loss of control .
f) Discs, grinding cylinders, cutting tools or
other accessories mounted on a mandrel must
be completely inserted in the collet or chuck.
Any "protrusion" or exposed parts of the
mandrel between the grinding tool and the
collet or chuck must be kept to a minimum. If
the mandrel is not sufficiently tightened or the
grinding tool protrudes too far, the tool could
come loose and be thrown out at high speed .
g) Never use damaged accessory tools. Before
each use, check accessory tools such as
grinding discs for chips or cracks, sanding
drums for cracks or excessive wear and tear
and wire brushes for loose or broken wires.
If the power tool or the accessory tool in use
is dropped, check to see if it is damaged or
use an undamaged accessory tool. When
you have checked and inserted the accessory
tool, ensure that you and any other people
in the vicinity remain outside of the range of
the rotating accessory tool and allow the tool
to rotate at maximum speed for one minute.
Damaged accessory tools usually break during
this test period .
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the application, ensure that
you use full face protection, eye protection
or goggles. If required, use a dust mask, ear
protectors, protective gloves or a special
apron to protect you from grindings and
material particles. Protect your eyes from
flying debris that may be created during certain
applications . Dust or filter masks must be used
to filter any dust created by the application .
If you are exposed to loud noise for any length
of time, you may suffer hearing loss .

i) Ensure that other people remain at a safe
distance from your workspace. Anyone who
enters the workspace must wear personal pro­
tective equipment. Fragments of the work piece or
broken accessory tools can fly off and cause inju-
ry – even outside the immediate working area .
j) Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an oper­
ation where the accessory tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
live cable can also make metal parts of the appli-
ance live and could result in an electric shock .
k) Always hold the power tool firmly. When
running up to full speed, the torque of the motor
can cause the power tool to twist .
l) If possible, use clamps to hold the workpiece
in position. Never hold a small workpiece in
one hand and the power tool in the other while
you are using it. By clamping small workpieces,
you keep both hands free for better control of
the power tool . When cutting round workpieces
such as dowels, rods or pipes, be aware that
these can roll away and this can cause the tool
to jam and be thrown towards you .
m) Hold the power cord away from any rotating
accessories. If you lose control of the appliance,
the cord may get cut or caught and your hand or
arm could get caught in the rotating accessory tool .
n) Never put the power tool down until the
accessory tool has come to a complete stand­
still. The rotating accessory tool can come into
contact with the surface and cause you to lose
control of the power tool .
o) When changing accessory tools or changing
settings, tighten the collet nut, the chuck or
other fixing elements tightly. Loose fastening
elements can shift unexpectedly and lead to
loss of control; unsecured, rotating components
will fly off violently .
p) Do not leave the power tool running whilst
carrying it. Accidental contact between your
clothing and the rotating accessory tool could
lead to physical injury .
q) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool
regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation of metal
dust can cause electrical hazards .
