SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-
OFF OPERATIONS
a) Use only wheel types that are re-
commended 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 grinding surface of the center
depressed wheels must be mounted
below the planned of the guard lip.
An improperly mounted wheel that
projects through the plane of the guard
lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) 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 the
operator from broken wheel fragments
and accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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 OPERATION
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
reenter 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.
g) It is recommended to use grinding/
cutting wheels no thicker than 1/4
inch (6mm) thick.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
SANDING OPERATIONS
a) Do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing
of the disc or kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS
a) 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.
b) If the use of a guard is
recommended for wire brushing, do
not allow any interference of the wire
wheel or brush with the guard. Wire
wheel or brush may expand in diameter
due to work and centrifugal forces.
c) Safety glasses: Safety Goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a full face
shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1 eye
protection (CAN/CPA Z94.3), must be worn
by the operator and others that are within
50 feet of the use of this product/accessory.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not use Type 1 flat cut-off abrasive or
diamond wheels without proper guard.
