Prior to Operation
• Install the guard and appropriate disc or wheel. Do not
use excessively worn discs orwheels.
• Be sure the backing and threaded locking flange are
mounted correctly. Follow the instructions given in the
AccessoryChart.
• Make sure the disc or wheel rotates in the direction of
the arrows on the accessory and thetool.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips
and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear,
wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing
an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during
this testtime.
