4.1
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, wire brush 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 sanding or 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
12
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.
f) The grinding wheels or any other accessories
must fit exactly on the grinding spindle of your
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
each use, check accessories such as rotating
wheels for chips and cracks, and check wire
brushes for loose or broken wires. 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 face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and a 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.
i) 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.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
I) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grap the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
