f The arbour size of wheels and flanges must

properly fit the spindle of the power tool.

Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do

not match the mounting hardware of the

power tool will run out of balance, vibrate ex-

cessively and may cause loss of control.

f Do not use damaged wheels. Before each

use, inspect the wheels for chips and

cracks. If power tool or wheel is dropped,

inspect for damage or install an undamaged

wheel. After inspecting and installing the

wheel, position yourself and bystanders

away from the plane of the rotating wheel

and run the power tool at maximum no load

speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will

normally break apart during this test time.

f Wear personal protective equipment. De-

pending on application, use face shield, safe-

ty 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 opera-

tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity

noise may cause hearing loss.

f Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

the work area. Anyone entering the work ar-

ea must wear personal protective equip-

ment. Fragments of the workpiece or of bro-

ken cutting discs may fly away and cause

injury beyond the immediate area of opera-

tion.

f Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-

faces only, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact

hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-

cessory contacting a “live” wire may make ex-

posed metal parts of the power tool “live”

and shock the operator.

f Keep the mains cable away from rotating

application tools. When losing control over

the machine, the mains cable can be cut

through or get caught, and your hand or arm

can come in contact with the rotating cutting

disc.

f Never lay the power tool down until the ac-

cessory has come to a complete stop. The

spinning cutting disc may grab the surface

and pull the power tool out of your control.

f Do not run the power tool while carrying it

at your side. Accidental contact with the

spinning accessory could snag your clothing,

pulling the accessory into your body.

f Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.

The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the

housing and excessive accumulation of pow-

dered metal may cause electrical hazards.

f Do not operate the power tool near flamma-

ble materials. Sparks could ignite these ma-

terials.

f Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid cool-

ants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings

f Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched

or snagged rotating cutting disc. Pinching or

snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating

cutting disc. This causes an uncontrolled

power tool to be forced in the direction op-

posite of the cutting disc’s rotation direction

at the point of binding.

For example, if a grinding disc is snagged or

pinched in the workpiece, the edge of the

grinding disc that is entering into the work-

piece can be caught, causing the grinding

disc to break out or cause kickback. The

grinding disc may either jump toward or

away from the operator, depending on the di-

rection of the wheel at the point of blocking.

Grinding discs can also break under these

conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse

or incorrect operating procedures. It can be

avoided by taking proper precautions as de-

scribed below.
