a grinder. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.

tool was not designed may create a hazard
and cause personal injury.

specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power

at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.

your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized

each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear,
