Safety warnings specific for grinding and

abrasive cutting off operations

■ Always use the guard designed for the type

of wheel you are using. The guard must be

securely attached to the power tool and po-

sitioned for maximum safety, so the least

amount of wheel is exposed towards the

operator. The guard helps to protect the oper-

ator from broken wheel fragments and acci-

dental contact with the wheel.

■ Use only wheel types that are recom-

mended for your power tool and the spe-

cific guard designed for the selected

wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was

not designed cannot be adequately guarded

and are unsafe.

■ Wheels must be used only for recom-

mended applications. For example: Do not

grind with the side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive

cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral

grinding; side forces applied to these wheels

may cause them to shatter.

■ Always use undamaged wheel flanges that

are of correct size and shape for your se-

lected 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.

■ Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. A wheel intended for a larger

power tool is not suitable for the higher speed

of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional safety warnings specific for abra-

sive cutting off operations

■ Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply ex-

cessive pressure. Do not attempt to make

an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the

wheel increases the loading and susceptibility

to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut

and the possibility of kickback or wheel break-

age.

■ Do not position your body in line with and

behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,

at the point of operation, is moving away from

your body, the possible kickback may propel

the spinning wheel and the power tool directly

at you.

■ When the wheel is binding or when inter-

rupting a cut for any reason, switch off the

power tool and hold the power tool motion-

less until the wheel comes to a complete

stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off

wheel from the cut while the wheel is in mo-

tion, otherwise kickback may occur. Inves-

tigate and take corrective action to eliminate

the cause of wheel binding.

■ Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed

and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel

may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool

is restarted in the workpiece.

■ Support panels or any oversized workpiece

to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and

kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under

their own weight. Supports must be placed un-

der the workpiece near the line of cut and near

the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the

wheel.

■ Use extra caution when making a “pocket

cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding wheel may cut gas or water

pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can

cause kickback.

Safety warnings specific for sanding opera-

tions

■ When sanding, do not use excessively

oversized sanding disc paper. Follow the

manufacturers’ recommendations when

selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding pa-

per extending beyond the sanding pad

presents a laceration hazard and may cause

snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.

Safety warnings specific for polishing opera-

tions

■ Do not allow any loose portion of the pol-

ishing bonnet or its attachment strings to

spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose at-

tachment strings. Loose and spinning attach-

ment strings can entangle your fingers or snag

on the workpiece.
