General safety instructions for routing and
grinding:
Use
a) This power tool is designed for surface
routing and grinding. Refer to all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
10
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all the instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) This power tool is not suitable for polishing
or tasks using roughing discs, wire brushes,
parting grinder discs and flap discs. Operations
for which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. The simple fact that an
accessory can be attached to your power tool does
not ensure 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 protected or
controlled.
f) The arbour size of routing tools, flanges,
diamond cup wheels or any other accessory
must properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Accessories with arbour holes 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
use, always check accessories for splinters or
cracks and check grinding wheels for cracks or
signs of severe wear and tear. 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 normally break
apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use a face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear a 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
your work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of a workpiece or broken accessory may
fly into the air and cause injury beyond the
immediate area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
