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 opera-
tor 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 Specific for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at
the point of operation, is moving away from your
body, the possible kickback may propel the spin-
ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-
off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the work-
piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the workpiece near the line of cut and near the
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut"
into existing walls or other blind areas. The pro-
truding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommen-
dations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinary operation. Do
not overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.
Additional Safety Warnings:
17. When using depressed centre grinding wheels,
be sure to use only fiberglass-reinforced wheels.
18. NEVER USE Stone Cup type wheels with this
grinder. This grinder is not designed for these
types of wheels and the use of such a product
may result in serious personal injury.
19. 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.
20. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
21. 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.
22. Use the specified surface of the wheel to per-
form the grinding.
23. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
24. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
25. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.
26. Do not use separate reducing bushings or
adaptors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.
27. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
28. For tools intended to be fitted with threaded
hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel
is long enough to accept the spindle length.
29. Check that the workpiece is properly
supported.
30. Pay attention that the wheel continues to
rotate after the tool is switched off.
31. If working place is extremely hot and humid,
or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure opera-
tor safety.
32. Do not use the tool on any materials contain-
ing asbestos.
33. When use cut-off wheel, always work with
the dust collecting wheel guard required by
domestic regulation.
34. Cutting discs must not be subjected to any
lateral pressure.

WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or famil-
iarity with product (gained from repeated
use) replace strict adherence to safety
rules for the subject product. MISUSE or
failure to follow the safety rules stated in
