b) Check the operation and condition of the guard

return spring. If the guard and the spring are not

operating properly, they must be serviced before

use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged

parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift

while performing the “plunge cut” when the blade

bevel setting is not at 90°. Blade shifting sideways will

cause binding and likely kickback.

d) Always observe that the guard is covering the blade

before placing saw down on bench or floor. An

unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk

backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of

the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is

released.

4) CUT-OFF MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS

a) 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 operator. Position yourself

and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating

wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken

wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.

b) Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your power

tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to the

power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

c) 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 y apart.

d) Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: Do not grind with the side of

a cut-o wheel. Abrasive cut-o 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 diameter for your selected wheel. Proper

wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing the

possibility of wheel breakage.

f) 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.

g) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must

properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and

anges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting

hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate

excessively and may cause loss of control.

h) 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.

i) Wear personal protective equipment 6. Depending

on application, use face shield, safety goggles or

safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,

hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable

of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.

The eye protection 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.

j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work

area. Anyone entering the work area must wear

personal protective equipment. Fragments of the

workpiece or of a broken accessory may y away and

cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.

k) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,

when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own

cord. A cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and

could give the operator an electric shock.

l) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If

you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and

your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning

accessory.

m) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory

has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory

may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your

control.

n) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your

side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory

could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your

body.

o) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The

motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and

excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause

electrical hazards.

p) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

q) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in

electrocution or shock.

5) 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 power tool to be forced in the direction

opposite of the wheel’s rotation at the point of the

binding.

• 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

material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The

wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator,

depending on the direction of the wheel’s movement at

the point of pinching. 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.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position

your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback

forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for

maximum control over kickback or torque reaction

during start-up. The operator can control torque

reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are

taken.
