8) Additional safety instructions for grinding and cutting-off 

operations
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off 

Operations:

a)  Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool 

and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels 

for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately 

guarded and are unsafe.

b)  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. The guard helps to protect operator 

from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.

c)  Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For 

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

cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces 

applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

d)  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.

e)  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 Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off 

Operations (6145 only):
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.
