Do not “jam” a 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 snagging of the wheel in the cut and
the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at
you.
When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 pinching or snagging.
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.
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.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS:
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using them. During this time no one is to
stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be
discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in serious injury.
