d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut­off 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 diameter for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
f) 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.
g) Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must fit the locating diameter of
the flange. Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
h) 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 unda­
maged accessory. After inspecting and installing
an accessory, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run the power tool at maximum no­load
speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
i) 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 respira-
tor must be capable of filtrating particles gene-
rated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Frag-
ments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immedia-
te area of operation.

k) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfa­
ces only, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
l) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces­
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
m) Never lay the power tool down until the acces­
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
n) 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.
o) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the hou-
sing and excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
p) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
q) Do not use accessories that require liquid cool­
ants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at
the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into
the surface of the material causing the wheel to
climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel's movement at the point of
pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions. Kickback is the result of power
tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
