To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing, 

repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or 

working  near  this  tool  must  read  and  understand 

these instructions before performing any such task.

The goal of Chicago Pneumatic is to produce tools that help you work safely and 

efficiently. The most important safety device for this or any tool is YOU. Your 

care  and  good  judgment  are  the  best  protection  against  injury.  All  possible 

hazards cannot be covered here, but we have tried to highlight some of the 

important ones.

CP861

Cut-Off Tool

Model "K" & "L” 

KF136502 Rev. G

Air Supply Requirements

1. Supply tool with 90 psig (6.2 bar) of clean, dry air. Higher pressure drastically 

reduces tool life.

2. Connect tool to air line using pipe, hose and fitting sizes shown in the diagram 

on page 12.

3. Do not install a quick coupler directly into the tool throttle handle.

Lubrication

Use an air line lubricator with SAE #10 oil, adjusted to two drops per minute. If 

an air line lubricator cannot be used, add air motor oil to the inlet once a day.

Noise & Vibration Declaration*

2

Vibration value 3.3 m/s  re. ISO 8662-1

Maintenance

1. Disassemble and inspect air motor every three months if the tool is used every 

day. Replace damaged or worn parts.

2. High wear parts are underlined in the parts list.

*These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in compliance with the stated 

standards and are not adequate for use in risk assessments. Values measured in individual work 

places  may  be  higher  than  the  declared  values.  The  actual  exposure  values  and  risk  of  harm 

experienced  by  an  individual  user  are  unique  and  depend  upon  the  way  the  user  works,  the 

workpiece and the workstation design, as well as upon the exposure time and the physical condition 

of the user. We, Chicago Pneumatic, cannot be held liable for the consequences of using the 

declared values, instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an individual risk assessment in 

a work place situation over which we have no control.

Sound pressure level 85 dB(A) in accordance with Pneurop 8N-1.  For sound 

power, add 10 dB(A).

Avoid direct contact with accessory and work surface during and after 

work.

Cutting edges and saw blades can become hot during use. Do not 

touch.

Never force the tool to cut faster or through heavier gauge material than 

rated capacity.

To prevent damage to the tool and accessory, accessory must be held 

firmly against work surface while cutting.

Workplace Hazards

Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of 

excess hose left on the walking or work surface.

High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use hearing 

protection as recommended by your employer or OSHA regulation (see 

29 CFR part 1910).

Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.

Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration 

can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness, tingling, pain or 

whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and consult a physician.

Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process which can 

be harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and wear respiratory 

protective equipment when working with materials which produce 

airborne particles.

Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware of potential 

hazards created by your work activity.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and 

other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of 

California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. 

Some examples of these chemicals are:

- Lead from lead based paints

- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry products

- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rubber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do 

this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a 

well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as 

dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Additional Safety Topics

This tool and its accessories must not be modified.

This tool is not intended for use in an explosive atmosphere and is not 

insulated for contact with electric power sources.

Air Supply and Connection Hazards

Air under pressure can cause severe injury.

Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect 

tool from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or 

when making repairs.

Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.

Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for damaged or 

loose hoses and fittings.

Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See instructions for 

correct set-up.

Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must be 

installed.

Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 psi/6.2 bar or as stated on 

tool nameplate.

Projectile Hazards

Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved 

with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the tool or changing 

accessories on the tool.

Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and face 

protection.

Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.

Operating Hazards

Always shut off air supply, relieve hose of air pressure and disconnect 

tool from air supply when changing accessories.

Cutting with these tools will create sharp edges. Wear gloves to protect 

hands.
