ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING AND
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS:
a Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specic guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels 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.
c 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, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d 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.
e 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.
f 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.
