[. . . ] 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. langes 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. Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations: a) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin. b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wrie brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces. ¡ö ¡ö ¡ö ¡ö ¡ö ¡ö ¡ö ¡ö ¡ö ¡ö ¡ö ALWAYS USE PROPER GUARD WITH GRINDING WHEEL. A guard protects operator from broken wheel fragments. When using grinding wheel attachments, the guard must always be attached to the tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed from the side the tool is being operated. DO NOT USE DEPRESSED HUB GRINDING WHEELS FOR CUT-OFF OPERATIONS. DO NOT USE THIS TOOL WITH "WOODCARVING" BLADE. Such blades create frequent kick-back and loss of control. WEAR PROPER APPAREL WHILE USING A SANDER/GRINDER. Face shield or at least safety goggles, dust mask, leather gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small wheel or workpiece fragments. POSITION THE CORD CLEAR OF THE SPINNING GRINDING WHEEL OR ANY OTHER SANDING ACCESSORY. Do not wrap the cord around your arm or wrist. If you lose control and have the cord wrapped around your arm or wrist it may entrap you and cause injury. AVOID BOUNCING AND SNAGGING THE WHEEL, ESPECIALLY WHEN WORKING CORNERS, SHARP EDGES ETC. This can cause loss of control and kick-back. When grinding is resumed the proper guard and wheel flanges MUST be reinstalled before proceeding with grinding. [. . . ] When grinding with a new wheel be certain to grind while pulling tool backwards until wheel becomes rounded on its edge. New wheels have sharp corners which tend to "bite" or cut into workpiece when pushing forward. SANDING OPERATIONS SELECTING SANDING DISC ¡ö Sanding discs are made of extremely hard and sharp aluminum oxide grits, phenol-resin bonded to a sturdy fiber backing for fast heavy-duty service and long life. The discs vary as to size and spacing of the abrasive grits. [. . . ]
