Cutter safety warnings

1. The guard provided with the tool must be

securely attached to the power tool and

positioned for maximum safety, so the least

amount of wheel is exposed towards the oper-

ator. Position yourself and bystanders away

from the plane of the rotating wheel.Theguard

helpstoprotectoperatorfrombrokenwheelfrag-

mentsandaccidentalcontactwithwheel.

2. Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your

power tool.Justbecauseanaccessorycanbe

attachedtoyourpowertool,itdoesnotassure

safeoperation.

3. The rated speed of the accessory must be at

least equal to the maximum speed marked on

the power tool. Accessoriesrunningfasterthan

theirratedspeedcanbreakandyapart.

4. 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.

5. Always use undamaged wheel anges that are

of correct diameter for your selected wheel.

Properwheelangessupportthewheelthus

reducingthepossibilityofwheelbreakage.

6. The outside diameter and the thickness of your

accessory must be within the capacity rating

of your power tool. Incorrectlysizedaccessories

cannotbeadequatelyguardedorcontrolled.

7. The arbour size of wheels and anges must

properly t the spindle of the power tool.

Wheelsandangeswitharbourholesthatdonot

maycauselossofcontrol.

8. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each

use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks.

If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for

damage or install an undamaged wheel. After

inspecting and installing the wheel, position

yourself and bystanders away from the plane

of the rotating wheel and run the power tool

at maximum no load speed for one minute.

Damagedwheelswillnormallybreakapartduring

this test time.

9.

Wear personal protective equipment.

Depending on application, use face shield,

safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropri-

ate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves

and shop apron capable of stopping small

abrasive or workpiece fragments.Theeyepro-

tectionmustbecapableofstoppingyingdebris
