Safety Warnings Specic for
Grinding Operations
1. Use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool
and the specic guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels
for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
2. The guard must be securely
attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety,
so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect operator
from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel.
3. 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.
4. Always use undamaged wheel
anges that are of correct size and
shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel anges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding
wheel anges.
5. 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.
6. Dress appropriately. Wear leather
leggings and re resistant footwear
during use. Do not wear pants with
cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or
any clothing that can catch and hold
molten metal or sparks.
Safety Warning Specic for
Sanding Operations
Do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturer’s recommendations
when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending
beyond the sanding pad presents
a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or
kickback.
Safety Warnings Specic for Wire
Brushing Operations
1. Be aware that wire bristles are
thrown by the brush even during
ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush. The
wire bristles can easily penetrate light
clothing and/or skin.
2. If the use of a guard is
recommended for wire brushing,
do not allow any interference of
the wire wheel or brush with the
guard. Wire wheel or brush may
expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.
Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury, particularly to
the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce
the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly
or for an extended period should
