Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and
Abrasive Cutting-off Operations
1.
Use only wheel types that are recommended
4.
for your power tool and the specific
guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
2.
The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for
5;
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow 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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations
1.
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
2.
the brush even during ordinary operation.
Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles
can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
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.
SAFET
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.
Dress appropriately.
Wear leather leggings and
fire resistant footwear during use. Do not wear pants
with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any clothing
that can catch and hold molten metal or sparks.
If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow any interference
of the wire wheel or brush with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter
due to work load and centrifugal forces.
