Safety Warnings Specific for
grinding Operations
1.
use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool
and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not de-
signed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
2.
The guard must be securely at-
tached to the power tool and posi-
tioned for 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 con-
tact 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.
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.
Do not use worn down wheels
5.
from larger power tools. Wheel
intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.

Safety Warnings Specific for
Sanding Operations
1.
Do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow manu-
facturer'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 the brush even dur-
ing 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.
2.
if the use of a guard is recom-
mended 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 cen-
trifugal forces.
Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Re-
peated or long-term exposure to vibra-
tion may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands,
arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of
vibration-related injury:
1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regu-
larly or for an extended period should
first be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check-
ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from
