b)Normative statement / advice for this tool is not applicable.
c)Do not use any accessory not specifi- cally intended by the manufacturer for this electrical power tool. Although an accessory may fit on your electrical power tool, this does not on its own guarantee that it can be safely used.
d)The maximum permitted speed of an attachment must be at least as high as the maximum speed indicated for the electrical power tool. An accessory rotating faster than its permitted speed could disintegrate or fly off.

f)Grinding discs, flanges, grinding wheels or other accessories must fit exactly on to the spindle of your elec- trical power tool. Attachments that do not exactly fit on the spindle turn unevenly, vibrate severely and could lead to loss of control.
g)Do not use damaged attachments. Before every use check attachments such as grinding discs for loose frag- ments and cracks, grinding wheels for cracks, deterioration or excessive wear and wire brushes for loose or broken wires. If the electrical power tool or attachment is dropped, inspect for damage or change the attachment for an undamaged one. When you have inspected and inserted the at- tachment, position yourself and by- standers away from the plane of the rotating attachment and run the device at maximum speed for one minute.
