4. SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 General safety instructions for grinding:
Use
a) This power tool is designed for surface grinding. Refer
to all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all the instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
b) operations such as routing, sanding, wire brushing,
polishing, hole cutting or cutting-off are not recommend-
16
ed 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 convert this power tool to operate in a way
which is not specifically designed and specified by the
tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result in a loss of
control and cause serious personal injury.
d) Do not use accessories that are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because an accessory can be attached to your power
tool does not mean safe operation is guaranteed.
e) 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.
f) The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-
sory must be within the capacity rating of your power
tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
protected or controlled.
g) The arbour size of flanges, diamond cup wheels or any
other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the pow-
er tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will rotate unevenly,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
h) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before use, always
check accessories for splinters or cracks and check grind-
ing wheels for cracks or signs of severe wear and tear. If a
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage
or install 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.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on the application, use a face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear a 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 respira-
tor must be capable of filtering particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from your work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of a workpiece or broken
accessory may fly into the air and cause injury beyond the
immediate area of operation.
k) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting acces-
