Special safety warnings applicable to grinding, dressing,
brushing, or cutting
•
This power tool is intended for grinding, dressing, brushing and cutting.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications that
are included with this tool. Neglecting to follow all of the instructions listed below
can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
•
Polishing is not recommended with this power tool. The use of this power
tool to perform tasks for which the tool was not intended, can lead to danger and
personal injury.
•
Do not use accessories which are not intended to be used with this tool and
which are not recommended by the manufacturer. Even if the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, there is no guarantee that it can be used safely.
•
The accessory's rated speed must at least correspond to the power tool's
maximum rated speed. Accessories which rotate faster than their rated speed
can break and shatter.
•
The accessory's outer diameter and size must fall within the rated capacity
of your power tool. If an accessory is the wrong size, it will not fit the guard and
will not be able to be controlled properly.
•
The spindle size of the wheels, flanges, and backing plates or other
accessories must fit the spindle on your power tool correctly. Ill-fitting/
incorrectly sized accessories will end up out of balance, vibrate violently, and may
lead to loss of control.
•
Do not use damaged accessories. Inspect the accessory and make sure
there are no splits or cracks in the grinding wheels; cracks or wear and tear on
the backing plates, or loose or torn bristles on the steel brush wheels.
If you drop your power tool or accessory, check for damage. If the accessory
is damaged, use a new/undamaged accessory. After inspecting the tool and
attaching an accessory, keep yourself and others outside of the power tool's
danger zone and let it run at full speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will
normally break during this test period.
•
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on how you use the machine;
use a visor/face protection or safety glasses. If necessary use a mask, ear
protection, gloves, and apron/work clothing to protect you from small shards
of metal or splinters from the work object. The eye protection you use must
be able to protect against flying debris produced in different working positions.
The breathing protection should be able to filter any particles produced by
the work. Prolonged exposure to high levels of noise can result in hearing damage.
