the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
b) Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
c) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for
cut-off wheels may be different from grinding
wheel flanges.
d) Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away
from your body, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power
tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the
polishing bonnet or its attachment strings
to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning
attachment strings can entangle your fingers
or snag on the workpiece.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinar
y operation.
Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.
Additional Safety Information
t Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels
on this tool. Using inappropriate accessories
can result in injur
y.
t Air vents often cover moving parts and
should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
t A
void prolonged contact with dust from
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
WARNING: When not in use, place grinder
on a stable surface where it will not move
inadvertantly, roll or cause a tripping or
falling hazard. Serious personal injury may
result.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, use extra care when working into a
corner or edge because a sudden, sharp
movement of the tool may be experienced
when the wheel or other accessory contacts
a secondary surface or a surface edge.
