Cut-off machine safety warnings

1. Position yourself and bystanders away from

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

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

ments and accidental contact with wheel.

2. Use only bonded reinforced 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.

Wheels must be used only for recommended

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.

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.

Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,

inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If the

power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for dam-

age or install an undamaged wheel. After inspect-

ing and installing the wheel, position yourself

and bystanders away from the plane of the rotat-

ing wheel and run the power tool at maximum no

load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will

normallybreakapartduringthistesttime.

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

generatedbyvariousoperations.Thedustmask

orrespiratormustbecapableofltratingparticles

generatedbyyouroperation.Prolongedexposure

tohighintensitynoisemaycausehearingloss.

10. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

work area. Anyone entering the work area

must wear personal protective equipment.

Fragmentsofworkpieceorofabrokenwheelmay

yawayandcauseinjurybeyondimmediatearea

of operation.

11. Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-

sory.Ifyoulosecontrol,thecordmaybecutor

snaggedandyourhandorarmmaybepulledinto

the spinning wheel.

12. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.The

motor’sfancandrawthedustinsidethehousing

andexcessiveaccumulationofpowderedmetal

maycauseelectricalhazards.

13. Do not operate the power tool near ammable

materials. Do not operate the power tool while

placed on a combustible surface such as

wood.Sparkscouldignitethesematerials.

14. Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants.Usingwaterorotherliquidcoolants

mayresultinelectrocutionorshock.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickbackisasuddenreactiontoapinchedorsnagged

rotatingwheel.Pinchingorsnaggingcausesrapid

stallingoftherotatingwheelwhichinturncausesthe

uncontrolledcuttingunittobeforcedupwardstoward

the operator.

Forexample,ifanabrasivewheelissnaggedorpinched

bytheworkpiece,theedgeofthewheelthatisentering

intothepinchpointcandigintothesurfaceofthemate-

rialcausingthewheeltoclimboutorkickout.Abrasive

wheelsmayalsobreakundertheseconditions.

Kickbackistheresultofpowertoolmisuseand/or

incorrectoperatingproceduresorconditionsandcanbe

avoidedbytakingproperprecautionsasgivenbelow.

Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and posi-

tion your body and arm to allow you to resist

kickback forces.Theoperatorcancontrolupward

kickbackforces,ifproperprecautionsaretaken.

2. Do not position your body in line with the

rotating wheel.Ifkickbackoccurs,itwillpropel

thecuttingunitupwardstowardtheoperator.

Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade,

segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap

greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade.Such

bladescreatefrequentkickbackandlossofcontrol.

4. Do not “jam” the 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kick-

backorwheelbreakage.

5. When the wheel is binding or when interrupt-

ing a cut for any reason, switch off the power

tool and hold the cutting unit motionless until

the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never

attempt to remove the 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.

6. 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.

7. Support 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work-

pieceonbothsidesofthewheel.
