SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND
DIAMOND WHEEL CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specifi c
guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
b) 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 operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact
with wheel.
c) 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.
d) Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel.
Proper wheel fl anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be diff erent from grinding wheel fl anges.
e) 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
DIAMOND WHEEL 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 operation, 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
