ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Safety Instructions for All Operations
a ) This power tool is intended to function as a 
grinder, sander, 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 seriousinjury.
b ) Operations such as polishing are not recommended 
to be performed with this power tool. Operations 
for which the power tool was not designed may create 
ahazard and cause personalinjury.
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 
safeoperation.
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 flyapart.
e ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your 
accessory must be within the capacity rating of 
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories can not be 
adequately guarded orcontrolled.
f ) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the 
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by 
flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the 
locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do 
not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will 
run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss 
ofcontrol.
g ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use 
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel for 
chips and cracks, backing pad 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 testtime.
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 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 hearingloss.
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 ofoperation.
j ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces 
only, when performing an operation where the 
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact 
with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts 
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an 
electricshock.
