sure the attachment cannot become
locked into or bounce back from the
work piece.
Rotating discs tend to lock
into or bounce back from edges and cor-
ners. This may cause kickback or loss of
control.
e. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade.
Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss
of control.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS:
a. Use only discs intended for your elec-
tric tool and the protective hood
intended for these discs.
Discs not
intended for the electric tool cannot be
covered in a suitable way and are unsafe.
b. The grinding surface of centre
depressed wheels must be mounted
below the plane of the guard lip.
An
improperly mounted wheel that projects
through the plane of the guard lip cannot
be adequately protected.
c. Always use the protective hood
intended for the kind of attachment you
are using. The protective hood must be
securely attached and be adjusted in
such a way that the highest possible
degree of safety is achieved, e.g. the
smallest possible part of the spinning
attachment pointing to the operator is
free.
The protective hood is intended to
protect the operator from flying debris,
fragments of a fractured disc and acciden-
tal contact with the attachment.
d. Use discs only for the purpose they are
intended for by the manufacturer.
Never use the side of a cutting disc for
grinding.
Cutting discs are intended for
cutting only. Lateral forces may cause
fracture.
e. Always use undamaged flanges of the
correct size and shape for your cutting
disc.
The correct flanges support the disc
and reduce the risk of a disc fracture.
Flanges for cutting discs can differ from
those for grinding discs.
f. Do not use worn-down discs from
larger electric tools.
These are not
intended for the fast speeds of smaller
electric tools and may fracture.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS:
Cut-off operations are only suitable
with a special protection guard (not
included).
a. Avoid blocking the disc and do not use
excessive pressure. Do not attempt
excessively deep cuts.
Excessive loads
on the cutting disc increase the stress and
make it more prone to jamming or block-
ing and increase the risk of kickback of
fracture.
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 inter-
rupting 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. Use discs only for the purpose they are
intended for by the manufacturer.
Never use the side of a cutting disc for
grinding.
Cutting discs are intended for
cutting only. Lateral forces may cause
fracture.
e. Always use undamaged flanges of the
correct size and shape for your cutting
disc.
The correct flanges support the disc
and reduce the risk of a disc fracture.
Flanges for cutting discs can differ from
those for grinding discs.
f. Do not use worn-down discs from
larger electric tools.
These are not
intended for the fast speeds of smaller
electric tools and may fracture.
