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 of control.
 Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, and backing pad for cracks, tear or
