e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many ac-
cidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

b) Do not use any accessories that have not
been provided or recommended by the manu-
facturer for this power tool. Just because you
can attach the accessories to your power tool,
does not guarantee they are safe to use.
c) The permissible speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool. Accessories
that rotate faster than the permissible rate can
break and throw pieces into the air.
d) The external diameter and thickness of the
accessory tool used must comply with the
dimensions of the power tool. Incorrectly
dimensioned accessory tools cannot be
sufficiently shielded or controlled.
e) Grinding discs, sanding drums or other acces-
sories must match the grinding spindle or collet
chuck of your power tool exactly.
Accessory tools which do not fit precisely into
the take-up of the power tool will rotate unevenly,
vibrate severely and can lead to a loss of control.
f) Discs, grinding cylinders, cutting tools or
other accessories mounted on a mandrel must
be completely inserted in the collet or chuck.
Any "protrusion" or exposed parts of the
mandrel between the grinding tool and the
collet or chuck must be kept to a minimum.
If the mandrel is not sufficiently tightened or the
grinding tool protrudes too far, the tool could
come loose and been thrown out at high speed.
g) Never use damaged accessory tools. Before
each use, check accessory tools such as
grinding discs for chips or cracks, sanding
drums for cracks, wearing or excessive wear
and tear and wire brushes for loose or broken
wires. If the power tool or the accessory tool
in use is dropped, check to see if it is dam-
aged or use an undamaged accessory tool.
When you have checked and inserted the
accessory tool, ensure that you and any other
people in the vicinity remain outside of the
range of the rotating accessory tool and al-
low the tool to rotate at maximum speed for
one minute. Damaged accessory tools usually
break during this test period.
