Additional Safety Warnings
Specific for Abrasive 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 re-enter 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 wheel.
f) 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.

Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively
oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers
recommendations, when
selecting sanding paper.
