Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding or
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sand-

er or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, il-
lustrations and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Operations such as wire brushing or polishing are not

recommended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-

signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least

equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-

sory must be within the capacity rating of your power
tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grind-

er spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges,
the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the locating di-
ameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use in-

spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips
and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or in-
stall an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystand-
ers away from the plane of the rotating accessory and
run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on

application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris gener-
ated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your op-
eration. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
