ing of your power tool. Incorrect- ly sized accessories cannot be ad- equately guarded or controlled.

6)The arbour size of wheels, flang- es, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Acces- sories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of bal- ance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

7)Do not use a damaged acces- sory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accesso- ry. After inspecting and install- ing an accessory, position your- self and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating acces- sory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

8)Wear personal protective equip- ment. Depending on applica- tion, use face shield, safety gog- gles or safety glasses. As ap- propriate, wear dust mask, hear- ing protectors, gloves and work- shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping fly- ing debris generated by various operations. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various oper- ations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating parti- cles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high inten- sity noise may cause hearing loss.

9)Keep bystanders a safe dis- tance away from work area. Any- one entering the work area must wear personal protective equip- ment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly

away and cause injury beyond im- mediate area of operation.

10)Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may con- tact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.

11)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 ac- cessory.

12)Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning ac- cessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your con- trol.

13)Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Acciden- tal contact with the spinning ac- cessory could snag your cloth- ing, pulling the accessory into your body.

14)Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and ex- cessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

15)Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

16)Do not use accessories that re- quire liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
