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.
• 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 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 ying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of ltrating 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 y 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Regularly clean the power tool’s air
vents.The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. 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
canbe avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always use
auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can control torque
reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
• Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of
snagging.
• Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
