g) Threaded mounting of insertion tools must match the grinder
spindle thread. For insertion tools mounted by flanges, the ar-
bour hole of the insertion tool must fit the locating diameter of
the flange. Insertion tools, which do not fit exactly on the grinding
spindle of the power tool, rotate unevenly, vibrate violently and may
result in loss of control.
h) Do not use a damaged insertion tool. Before each use, in-
spect the insertion tool 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 insertion tool is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged insertion
tool. After inspecting and installing the tool, position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating insertion
tool and run the power tool at maximum speed for one minute.
Damaged insertion tools usually break during this test time.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on applica-
tion, use full face protection, eye protection or safety goggles.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protection, protective
gloves and/or workshop apron capable of stopping small abra-
sive 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 filtrating 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 the workpiece or of broken insertion tools
may fly away and cause injury even beyond the immediate work area.
k) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
