Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive cutting-off operations:
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cutoff wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an
unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels will reduce the
possibility of breakage.
Do not
ƍƍMDPƍƍ
a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an exces-
sive 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 restart-
ed 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.

The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause
kickback.
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.
Additional Safety Warnings
! WARNING
Do not use router bit with the

chuck. Bit may become a projectile
and cause serious injury.
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the
power tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
