the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Additional power tool safety warnings
Warning! Additional safety warnings for grinding,
!
sanding, wire brushing, polishing or abrasive cutting-off
operations.
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,

sander, wire brush, polisher 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.
Operations for which the power tool was not designed

may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically

designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
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.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your

accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or

any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of
the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use

inspect 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 install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this
test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on

application, use face shield, safety 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 filtering
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
Keep 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.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

because the sanding belt / sanding base may
contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" could give
the operator an electric shock.
Position 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.
Never 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
control.
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.
Regularly 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.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
