to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging. d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback. 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: 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 cannot 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 the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing. c) 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. d) 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. Additional safety warnings: 17. Never use depressed center wheels or abrasive cut-off wheels. 18. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange (especially the installing surface) or the lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage. 19. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 20. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced wheel. 21. Use the specified surface of the wheel to perform the grinding. 22. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 23. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. 24. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and store wheels with care. 25. Use only flanges specified for this tool. 26. Check that the workpiece is properly supported. 27. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off. 28. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety. 29. Do not use the tool on any materials containing asbestos. 30. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
