mum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their RATED SPEED can break and fly apart.

5.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.

6.The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other acces- sory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate exces- sively and may cause loss of control.

7.Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the ac- cessory 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.

sive or work piece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The eye pro- tection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respira- tor must be capable of filtrating par- ticles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

9.Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of work piece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

10.Hold power tool by insulated grip- ping surfaces only, when perform- ing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac- cessory contacting a ″live″ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool ″live″ and shock the op- erator.

11.Position the cord clear of the spin- ning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

12.Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning acces- sory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
