• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
• Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on this tool. Using inappropriate
accessories can result in injury.
• 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. Flaws may
cause wheel breakage.

Serious injury may result.
• 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 operator.
• Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool
and inspect the wheel for cracks or flaws.
• 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.

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 equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, 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.
