General Safety Warnings

WARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction manual for
both the grinder tool and the dust extractor vacuum before using
any accessory. Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal
injury and serious damage to the tool and the accessory. When
servicing this tool, use only identical replacement parts.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.

at a poorly ventilated workplace may result in damage to the
health.
