a way which is not specically designed and
specied by the tool manufacturer. S u c h a c o n -
version may result in a loss of control and cause
serious personal injury.
4. Do not use accessories w hich are not spe-
cically designed and specied by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
s a f e o p e r a t i o n .
5. The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the pow er tool. A c c e s s o r i e s r u n n i n g f a s t e r t h a n
their rated speed can break and y apart.
6. The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be w ithin the capacity rating
of your pow er tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
7 . The dimensions of the accessory mounting
must t the dimensions of the mounting hard-
w are of the pow er tool. A c c e s s o r i e s t h a t d o n o t
m a t c h t h e m o u n t i n g h a r d w a r e o f t h e p o w e r t o o l
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
8. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
w heels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess w ear, w ire brush for
loose or cracked w ires. If pow er tool or acces-
sory is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders aw ay from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the pow er tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute. Da m a g e d a c c e s -
sories will normally break apart during this test
t i m e .
9. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, w ear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and w orkshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or w orkpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping
ying debris generated by various applications.
T h e d u s t m a s k o r r e s p i r a t o r m u s t b e c a p a b l e
of ltrating particles generated by the particular
application. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
10. Keep bystanders a safe distance aw ay from
w ork area. Anyone entering the w ork area
must w ear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may y away and cause injury beyond immediate
a r e a o f o p e r a t i o n .
11. Hold the pow er tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, w hen performing an operation
w here the cutting tool may contact hidden
w iring. C o n t a c t w i t h a " l i v e " w i r e w i l l a l s o m a k e

Kickback and related w arnings:
K i c k b a c k i s a s u d d e n r e a c t i o n t o a p i n c h e d o r s n a g g e d
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other acces-
sory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-
t r o l l e d p o w e r t o o l t o b e f o r c e d i n t h e d i r e c t i o n o p p o s i t e
of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.

avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
1.
Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the
pow er tool and position your body and arms
to allow you to resist kickback forces. Alw ays
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction during
start-up. T h e o p e r a t o r c a n c o n t r o l t o r q u e r e a c t i o n s
o r k i c k b a c k f o r c e s , i f p r o p e r p r e c a u t i o n s a r e t a k e n .
2. Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
3 . Do not position your body in the area w here
pow er tool w ill move if kickback occurs.

t o t h e w h e e l ’ s m o v e m e n t a t t h e p o i n t o f s n a g g i n g .
4. Use special care w hen w orking corners, sharp
edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. C o r n e r s , s h a r p e d g e s o r b o u n c i n g
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
a n d c a u s e l o s s o f c o n t r o l o r k i c k b a c k .
5. Do not attach a saw chain w oodcarving blade,
segmented diamond w heel w ith a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade.

Safety warnings specic for grinding and cut-
ting-o󰀨 operations:
1. Use only wheel types that are specied
for your power tool and the specic guard
designed for the selected w heel. W h e e l s f o r
w h i c h t h e p o w e r t o o l w a s n o t d e s i g n e d c a n n o t b e
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
2. The grinding surface of centre depressed
w heels must be mounted below the plane of
the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that
projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot
be adequately protected.
3 . The guard must be securely attached to the
pow er tool and positioned for maximum safety,
so the least amount of w heel is exposed
tow ards the operator. T h e g u a r d h e l p s t o p r o t e c t
t h e o p e r a t o r f r o m b r o k e n w h e e l f r a g m e n t s , a c c i -
d e n t a l c o n t a c t w i t h w h e e l a n d s p a r k s t h a t c o u l d
i g n i t e c l o t h i n g .
4. Wheels must be used only for specied appli-
cations. For example: do not grind w ith the
side of cut-o󰀨 wheel. Abrasive cut-o󰀨 wheels
a r e i n t e n d e d f o r p e r i p h e r a l g r i n d i n g , s i d e f o r c e s
applied to these wheels may cause them to
s h a t t e r .
5. Always use undamaged wheel anges that are
of correct size and shape for your selected
w heel. Proper wheel anges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-o󰀨 wheels may be di󰀨erent from
grinding wheel anges.
6. Do not use w orn dow n w heels from larger
pow er tools. A w h e e l i n t e n d e d f o r l a r g e r p o w e r
t o o l i s n o t s u i t a b l e f o r t h e h i g h e r s p e e d o f a
smaller tool and may burst.
7 . When using dual purpose w heels alw ays use
the correct guard for the application being
performed. Failure to use the correct guard may
n o t p r o v i d e t h e d e s i r e d l e v e l o f g u a r d i n g , w h i c h
could lead to serious injury.
Additional safety warnings specic for cutting-o󰀨
operations:
1. Do not jam the cut-o󰀨 wheel or apply exces-
sive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. O v e r s t r e s s i n g t h e w h e e l
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting
o r b i n d i n g o f t h e w h e e l i n t h e c u t a n d t h e p o s s i b i l -
ity of kickback or wheel breakage.
2. Do not position your body in line w ith and
behind the rotating w heel. W h e n t h e w h e e l , a t
the point of operation, is moving away from your
body, the possible kickback may propel the spin-
ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
3 . When the w heel is binding or w hen interrupt-
ing a cut for any reason, switch o󰀨 the power
tool and hold it motionless until the w heel
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the cut-o󰀨 wheel from the cut while
the w heel is in motion otherw ise kickback may
occur. In v e s t i g a t e a n d t a k e c o r r e c t i v e a c t i o n t o
e l i m i n a t e t h e c a u s e o f w h e e l b i n d i n g .
4. Do not restart the cutting operation in the
w orkpiece. Let the w heel reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
w a l k u p o r k i c k b a c k i f t h e p o w e r t o o l i s r e s t a r t e d i n
t h e w o r k p i e c e .
5. Support panels or any oversized w orkpiece to
minimize the risk of w heel pinching and kick-
back. L a r g e w o r k p i e c e s t e n d t o s a g u n d e r t h e i r

6. Use extra caution w hen making a “ pocket cut”
into existing w alls or other blind areas. T h e
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, elec-
trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
7 . Do not attempt to do curved cutting.
O v e r s t r e s s i n g t h e w h e e l i n c r e a s e s t h e l o a d i n g a n d
