SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL OPERATIONS:
Safety warnings common for
grinding, sanding, wire brushing,
polishing, carving or abrasive
cutting-off operations:
a) This power tool is intended to
function as a grinder, sander, wire
brush, polisher, carving 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 grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing
or cutting-off carving 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 grinding
accessories must be at least
equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Grinding
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 controlled.
f)
The arbour size of wheels,
sanding drums or any other
accessory must properly fit the
spindle or collet of the power tool.

hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause
loss of control.

g) Mandrel mounted wheels,
sanding drums, cutters or other
accessories must be fully inserted
into the collet or chuck. If the
mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the
overhang of the wheel is too long, the
mounted wheel may become loose and be
ejected at high velocity.
h) Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks,
sanding drum for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose
or cracked wires. If 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.
i)
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 filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j)
Keep bystanders a safe distance
away from work area. Anyone
entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment.
