 Do not "jam" a 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 snagging of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
 Do not position your hand in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation,
is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback
may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly
at you.
 When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 pinching
or snagging.
 Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
 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.
 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.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE
BRUSHING OPERATIONS:
 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.
 Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least
one minute before using them. During this time no
one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose
bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
 Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away
from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be
discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes
and may become imbedded in your skin.
ROTARY TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
 Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard
protects operator from broken wheel fragments.
 Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
 Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
 Do not grind or sand heat flammable materials. Sparks
from the wheel could ignite these materials.
 This product is not intended for use as a dental drill or
in human or veterinary medical applications. Serious
injury may result.
 When using steel screws, cut-off wheels, high speed
cutters, or tungsten carbide cutters, always have
the work securely clamped. Never attempt to hold
the work with one hand while using any of these
accessories.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product.
If you loan someone this product, loan them these
instructions also.
