Safety Warnings Specific for
grinding Operations
Always use proper guard with 1.
grinding wheel. A guard protects
operator from broken wheel fragments.
Accessories must be rated for at

least the speed recommended on the
tool warning label. Wheels and other
accessories running over rated speed
can fly apart and cause injury.

use only wheel types that are 4.
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.
the guard must be securely attached

and accidental contact with wheel.
wheels must be used only for
6.
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.

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.
