guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that

projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be

adequately protected.

c) The guard must be securely attached to the

power tool and positioned for maximum safety,

so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards

the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator

from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with

wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.

d) Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with the

side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are

intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied

to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are

of correct size and shape for your selected wheel.

Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus

reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges

for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding

wheel flanges.

f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is

not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and

may burst.

Additional Safety Warnings:

17. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange

(especially the installing surface) or the lock nut.

Damage to these parts could result in wheel

breakage.

18. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

19. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it

run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling

that could indicate poor installation or a poorly

balanced wheel.

20. Use the specified surface of the wheel to perform

the grinding.

21. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

22. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn

your skin.

23. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for

correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and

store wheels with care.

24. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

25. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.

26. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate

after the tool is switched off.

27. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or

badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-

circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.

28. Do not use the tool on any materials containing

asbestos.

29. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure

no one is below when using the tool in high

locations.
