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
