• Before using, inspect recommended accessory for cracks or
flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the accessory. The
accessory should also be inspected whenever you think the tool
may have been dropped.
• When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel, or a
new or replacement wire brush installed, hold the tool in a well
protected area and let it run for one minute. If the wheel has an
undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less than one minute. If
the wire brush has loose wires, they will be detected. Never start
the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the oper-
ator.
• In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treat-
ment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel.
• Direct sparks away from operator, bystanders or flammable
materials. Sparks may be produced while using a sander or
grinder. Sparks may cause burns or start fires.
• Always use side handle. Tighten the handle securely. The side
handle should always be used to maintain control of the tool at all
times.
CAUTION: Use extra care when grinding into a corner because a
sudden, sharp movement of the grinder may be experienced when the
wheel contacts a secondary surface.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and
grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces
and could create an electric shock hazard.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection dur-
ing use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil-
ter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, saw-
ing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and
water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin
may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
