ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING AND CTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) 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.
b) 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 and accidental
contact with wheel.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with he 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.
d) 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 fot cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
e) 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
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 re-enter 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.
