Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool.
b) 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 intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
c) 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:
15. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
16. 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.
17. Use the specified surface of the wheel to
perform the grinding.
18. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so
that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.
19. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
20. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
21. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.

containing asbestos.
25. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
