because the accessory can be attached to your power

tool, it does not assure safe operation.

uThe 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.

uThe outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-

cessory must be within the capacity rating of your

power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-

equately guarded or controlled.

uThe dimensions of the accessory mounting must fit

the dimensions of the mounting hardware of the

power tool. 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.

uDo not use a damaged accessory. Before each use in-

spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips

and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess

wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power

tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or in-

stall an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and

installing an accessory, position yourself and bystand-

ers 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.

uWear personal protective equipment. Depending on

application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety

glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-

tectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-

ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye

protection must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-

erated by various applications. The dust mask or respir-

ator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by

the particular application. Prolonged exposure to high in-

tensity noise may cause hearing loss.

uKeep 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.

uHold the 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 ex-

posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give

the operator an electric shock.

uPosition 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.

uNever 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 tool out of your con-

trol.

uDo 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.

uRegularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s

fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive

accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical

hazards.

uDo not operate the power tool near flammable materi-

als. Sparks could ignite these materials.

uDo not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-

cution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings:

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-

ing wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinch-

ing or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating access-

ory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be

forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation

at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by

the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the

pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing

the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either

jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direc-

tion of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abras-

ive wheels may also break under these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below.

uMaintain a firm grip with both hands on the power tool

and position your body and arms to allow you to resist

kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if

provided, for maximum control over kickback or

torque reaction during start-up. The operator can con-

trol torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precau-

tions are taken.

uNever place your hand near the rotating accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.

uDo not position your body in the area where power

tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel

the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at

the point of snagging.

uUse special care when working corners, sharp edges,

etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.

Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to

snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or

kickback.

uDo not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade, seg-

mented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater

than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create

frequent kickback and loss of control.

Safety warnings specific for grinding and cutting-off

operations:

uUse only wheel types that are specified for your power

tool and the specific guard designed for the selected

wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed

cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
