e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive
cutting-off operations
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed can not be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments
and accidental contact with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intend for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility
of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for
the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for polishing operations:
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or
its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any
loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment
strings can entangle your finger or snag on the workpiece.
