Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, San-
ding, Wire Brushing, Polishing or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as
a sander or polisher. Failure to follow ins-
tructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fi re and/or serious injuries.
b) This electric power tool is not suitable
for grinding, wire brushing and cutting-
off operations. Uses for which the power
tool is not intended can cause hazards and
injuries.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
designed or recommended by the manu-
facturer specifically for this power tool.
Just because the accessory can be attached
to your power tool does not assure safe use.
d) The rated speed of the bits and cutters
must be at least equal to the maximum
speed specified on the power tool. Acces-
sories that turn faster than their rated speed
can break and fl y apart.
e) The outside diameter and thickness of
the bits and cutters must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool. In-
correctly sized bits and cutters cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of discs, flanges, grin-
ding discs or other accessories must
properly fit the grinding spindle of your
power tool. Bits and cutters that do not fi t
the grinding spindle of the power tool pro-

gly and cause loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged bits and cutters.
Before each use, inspect bits and cut-
ters such as sanding discs for chips
and cracks, grinding discs for cracks,
strong wear or tear, wire brushes for loo-
se or broken wires. If the power tool or
bits and cutters are dropped, check for
