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.
NOTE List only those operations that are applicable.
b) Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off 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.
NOTE List only those operations that were not included in the first warning. If all listed
operations are applicable, then this warning is omitted, but all subsequent warnings are
given without exclusion.
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. 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) 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. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
