Additional Safety Warnings Specific
for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
a) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive 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 breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operations, is moving away from
your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly
at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may
bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
restarted in the workpiece.
e) 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
under the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of
the wheel.
f) 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 Operations
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturer's
recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard
and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc
or kickback.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point
of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for
Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations
a) Use only wheel types that are
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.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane
of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel
that projects through the plane of the guard lip
cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator. The
guard helps to protect the operator from broken
wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel
and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for
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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for 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.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger
power tools. Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
