Connecting a vacuum cleaner Optional accessory WARNING: Never vacuum metal particles created by grinding/cutting/sanding operation. Metal particles created by such operation are so hot that they ignite dust and the filter inside the vacuum cleaner. To avoid dusty environment caused by masonry cutting, use a dust collecting wheel guard and a vacuum cleaner. Refer to the instruction manual attached to the dust collecting wheel guard for assembling and using it. OPERATION WARNING: It should never be necessary to force the tool. The weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel breakage. WARNING: ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while grinding. WARNING: NEVER hit the workpiece with the wheel. WARNING: Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kickback. WARNING: NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other saw blades. Such blades when used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury. WARNING: Continued use of a worn-out wheel may result in wheel explosion and serious personal injury. 2 1 Fig.22 ► 1 . Dust collecting wheel guard 2.
