of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
4. Always use undamaged wheel
flanges that are of correct size and
shape for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus
reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different
from grinding wheel flanges.
5. 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 INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
