- Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kick-

Safety warnings specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off operations
- 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.
- 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, accidental contact with wheel
and sparks that could ignite clothing.
- Wheels must be used only for recommended ap-
plications. For example: do not grind with the side
of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are in-
tended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
- 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.
- Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheels intended for larger power tools are not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive
cutting off operations
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 mo-
tion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
