Special safety instructions

RO AG8000:
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Opera-
tions:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
b) Operations such as 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 per-
sonal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
d) 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.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or con-
trolled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For acces-
sories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the locating diame-
ter 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.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect 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 a power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will nor-
mally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtering particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
I) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
