5) 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 .
6) 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 warnings specific for
cutting-off operations
Other special safety warnings specific for
cutting-off operations
1) 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 .
2) 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 .
3) 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 .
4) 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 .
5) 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 .
6) 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 .
Additional safety instructions
1) Only use cutting/grinding discs where the
indicated rotational speed is at least as high as
what has been specified on the name plate of
the product .
2) Carry out a visual inspection of the cutting/
grinding disc before use . Do not use any
damaged or deformed cutting/grinding discs .
Replace any damaged or worn cutting/
grinding discs .
3) Make sure that the sparks produced by
cutting/grinding do not present a danger,
e .g . reach people or ignite flammable
substances .
4) Always wear safety goggles, safety gloves,
respiratory protection and ear protection when
grinding, brushing and cutting .
5) Never keep the fingers between the cutting/
grinding disc and spark protection or in close
proximity to the protective hoods . There is a
risk of crushing .
6) The rotating parts of the product cannot be
covered due to functional reasons . Therefore,
proceed cautiously and hold the workpiece
firmly in order to avoid slipping which could
cause your hands to come into contact with the
cutting/grinding disc .
7) The workpiece gets hot during cutting/
grinding . Do not touch the machined area,
allow it to cool down . There is a risk of burning .
Do not use coolants or the like .
8) If you are tired or have consumed alcohol or
tablets, do not work with the product . Always
have a break on time .
