The RATED SPEED of the accessories must be at least equal to the operating speed setting
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 arbor size of wheels, sanding drums or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle
or collet of the power tool.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.
Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums,cutters or other accessories must be fully inserted
into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the wheel is
too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks,sanding drum 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, position yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating 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 filtrating
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 only, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor,
as it accelerates to full speed, can cause
the tool to twist.
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use
your hand(s) to control the tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a
tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
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.
After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or any
other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly
shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
