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.

wire brushing, 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.
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
controlled.

backing pads 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.

accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
