MACHINE SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety warnings for wall chasers

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations 
and specifi cations provided with this power tool. 
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in 
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.

a) 

Always use guard provided with the tool. 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. 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.

 J

ust because an accessory can be attached to your 

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 break and fl y apart.

d) 

Wheels must be used only for recommended 

applications. For example: do not grind with the side 
of cut-off wheel.

Abrasive cutoff wheels are intended for 

peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels 
may cause them to shatter.

e) 

Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that are of 

correct diameter for your selected wheel.

Proper wheel 

fl 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 fl anges must properly 

fi t the spindle of the power tool.

Wheels and fl 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. Depending on 

application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety 
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing 
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of 
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.

The eye protection must be capable of stopping fl ying 
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or 
respirator must be capable of fi ltrating particles generated 
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity 
noise may cause hearing loss.

j) 

Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the 

work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear 
personal protective equipment.

Fragments of workpiece 

or of a broken accessory may fl y away and cause injury 
beyond immediate area of operation.

k) 

Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping 

surfaces when performing an operation where the 
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. 
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal 
parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.

l) 

Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.

If you lose control of the power tool, 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 fl ammable 

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.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged 

rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. 

Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating 

accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool 

to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’ 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 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 fi rm 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.

 T

he operator can control torque reactions 

or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b) 

Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. 

The accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) 

Do not position your body in the area where the 

power tool will move if kickback occurs.

Kickback will 

propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s 
movement at the point of snagging.

d) 

Use special care when working corners, sharp 

edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the 
accessory.

Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a 

tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of 
control or kickback.

e) 

Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or 

toothed saw blade.

Such blades create frequent kickback 

and loss of control over the power tool.
