SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR
GRINDING OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS:
1. This power tool is intended to
function as a grinder, or cut-off
tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2. Operations such as sanding,
wire brushing, polishing are not
recommended to be performed with
this power tool. Operations for which
the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
3. Do not use accessories which
are not specifically designed
and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
4. The rated speed of the accessory
must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly
apart.
5. The outside diameter and the
thickness of your accessory must
be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
6. The arbour size of wheels, flanges,
backing pads or any other accessory
must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool. Accessories with arbour
holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
7. Do not use a damaged accessory.
Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive wheels
for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear. If power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
8. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable
of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
9. Keep bystanders a safe distance
away from work area. Anyone
entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
10. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and shock the operator.
11. Position the cord clear of the
spinning accessory. If you lose control,
the cord may be cut or snagged and
your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
12. Never lay the power tool down
until the accessory has come to a
complete stop. The spinning accessory
may grab the surface and pull the power
