FURTHER SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR CUTTING DISCS
• Avoid a blockage of the cutting disc or high contact pressure. Do not do any cuts that are
excessively deep. Overstressing the cutting disc increases the strain and the likelihood of canting
or blocking and the possibility of a machine kickback or a breakage of the tool.
• Stay out of the area in front of or behind the rotating cutting disc. If you are moving the cutting
disc away from yourself into the work piece, a kickback could cause the rotating disc to be forced
directly toward you.
• If the cutting disc jams, or if you stop working, turn the device off and hold it until the disc stops
moving completely. Never try to pull a still-rotating cutting disc out of the cut, as this may result
in a machine kickback. Determine and correct the cause for the machine becoming jammed.
• Never turn the device back on while it is inside the work piece. Allow the cutting disc to reach
its full rotational speed before you begin your cut. Otherwise the disc may become caught, jump
out of the work piece or cause a kickback.
• Support slabs or large work pieces to avoid the risk of kickback resulting from a jammed cutting
disc. Large work pieces can bend under their own weight. The work piece must be supported on
both sides of the disc; in the area of the cut as well as on the edge.
• Exercise special care when doing "plunge cuts" into existing walls or other areas that are not
visible. In such cuts, the cutting disc may cut into gas or water pipes, electrical lines or other
objects and cause a machine kickback.
