4.1
General Safety Recommendations
for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or
Cut-Off Grinding:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush 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.
b) Operations such as 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.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Even if an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, this does not ensure
safe operation.
d) 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.
e) The external diameter and thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The threaded mounting of accessories must
match the 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
result in a loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged accessories. Inspect
accessories such as grinding discs before
each use for chips and cracks and inspect
backing pads for cracks, tear or excess wear
and wire brushes for loose or cracked wires. If
a power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and installing the
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.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Use a
face shield, safety goggles or safety goggles
depending on the application. If necessary,
wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and a workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. Eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. A dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtering particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
the work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of a workpiece or broken accessory may
fly off and result in injury beyond the immediate area
of operation.
j) When carrying out tasks that involve a risk of
the mounted tool contacting hidden wiring,
make sure you hold the device on the insulated
gripping surfaces only. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the rotating
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the rotating accessory.
I) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
