3. The tool must be used with acces-
sories that have been specically de-

not guarantee a safe operation.
4. The rated speed of the accessories
must be at least equivalent to the maxi-
mum speed specied on the tool. Using
the accessories at speeds above the rat-
ed maximum, may cause them to break
or be projected into the air.
5. The external diameter and thickness
of the accessories must match the
specications of the tool. Accessories
with incorrect dimensions cannot be
adequately protected controlled.
6. The conguration of accessories
must match the tool. The use of acces-

Before use, inspect all the accessories.
Inspect the supporting pads and verify
there are no cracks, tears or excessive
wear. If the tool or accessory has been
dropped, verify that it is not damaged or
install a new accessory. After inspecting
or installing an accessory, test the op-
eration of the tool at maximum speed
and without load for one minute, keep-
ing at a safety distance. If the accesso-
ries are damaged, they will break during
this test.
8. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hear-
ing protectors, gloves and workshop
apron capable of stopping small abra-
sive or work piece fragments. The eye

ying debris generated by various op-
erations. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping ying debris gen-
erated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of
ltering out particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
