to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding:
a) 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 designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum safety,
so the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. The guard helps to protect
the operator from broken wheel fragments,
accidental contact with wheel and sparks that
could ignite clothing.
c) 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.
d) Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool
is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller
tool and may burst.
Additional safety warnings:
17. Never use depressed center wheels or
abrasive cut-off wheels.
18. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the
flange (especially the installing surface) or the
lock nut. Damage to these parts could result
in wheel breakage.
19. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
20. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.
21. Use the specified surface of the wheel to
perform the grinding.
22. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
23. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
24. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.
25. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
26. Check that
supported.
27. Pay attention that the wheel continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off.
28. If working place is extremely hot and humid,
or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure
operator safety.
29. Do not use the tool on any materials
containing asbestos.
30. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
