SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUT-OFF SAW
„ AVOID EXTENDED CONTACT WITH DUST created by the cut-off saw.
Allowing the dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on your skin promotes the
absorption of harmful chemicals into your body.
„ DO NOT OPERATE THIS CUT-OFF SAW until it is completely assembled
according to the instructions in this manual. Failure to adhere to these
instructions could result in serious and/or permanent injury to the operator.
„ FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES. Use only properly grounded three-hole
grounded receptacles. DO NOT cut the third prong off the power cord. When
using an extension cord, use only UL Listed extension cords with minimum 16
AWG wiring and a maximum length of 25 feet.
„ DO NOT PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREEHAND.
„ USE ONLY ABRASIVE CUTTING WHEELS that are designed for the various
speeds of this cut-off saw. The abrasive cutting wheels should have an arbor
size 5/8" OR SMALLER. Unsuitable cutting wheels can break without warning
throwing fragments outward at high speeds possibly causing severe injuries.
„ ALWAYS EASE THE CUTTING WHEEL AGAINST THE WORKPIECE when
starting a cutting operation. A sudden impact can cause the abrasive wheel to
break sending fragments flying away from the cut-off saw at high speeds
resulting in possible severe injury to the operator.
„ DO NOT USE AN ABRASIVE WHEEL THAT WOBBLES OR VIBRATES.
Visually inspect the abrasive wheels before they contact the workpiece ensuring
there are no side-to-side movements. Should the abrasive wheel wobble from
side-to-side or if the tip appears broken, replace them immediately. If the
vibration still exists, check the bearings and the motor shaft and repair or replace
them as soon as possible. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION can cause severe damage
to both the workpiece and the cut-off saw.
„ ADJUST THE TOOL TABLE BEFORE EACH USE. The tool table should be
tightened and placed at the proper angle for the cutting job before the Cut-off
saw is put into use.
„ DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CUT-OFF SAW when it is first
turned on. Loose fragments could fly off at high speeds possibly causing injury.
„ NEVER REACH AROUND THE SAW BLADE.
„ PROPERLY SUPPORT EXTRA LONG OR EXTRA WIDE WORKPIECES.
Workpieces that are too long or tool wide can tip and cause the abrasive wheel
to seize resulting in a sudden kick back motion resulting in damage to the
workpiece and cut-off saw as well as possible severe injury to the operator.
„ NEVER START THE CUT-OFF SAW WITH THE WORKPIECE IN CONTACT
WITH THE ABRASIVE WHEEL. The sudden start-up of the abrasive wheel
could cause it to fracture resulting in pieces flying away from the cut-off saw
resulting in damage the workpiece, the cut-off saw, and/or serious injury to the
operator.
„ TURN OFF TOOL AND WAIT FOR SAW BLADE TO STOP before moving
workpiece or changing settings.
„ THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE CUT-OFF SAW BEFORE CHANGING TYPES OF
WORKPIECES. Combining wood and metal dust can result in an explosion or
fire.
„ CONSULT EXPERT ADVICE BEFORE CUTTING IN WORKPIECES MADE OF
MAGNESIUM. The friction generated by the abrasive wheel could cause the
magnesium to ignite, resulting in a very intense fire that could cause severe
burns to the operator and/or seriously damage the Cut-off saw.
„ Magnesium fires cannot be extinguished using fire extinguisher with an "A", "B"
or "C" rating. Only a class "D" extinguisher (for flammable metals) should be
used. Do not attempt to extinguish a magnesium fire with water or other liquid.
The result will be an explosive reaction that could result in severe burns or death
to the operator.
