Do not position your body in the area where
power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction op-

Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-
ging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or kick-

Safety warnings specific for grinding and
cutting-off operations
f
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 can-
not be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed can-
not be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
f
The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is ex-
posed towards the operator. The guard helps
to protect operator from broken wheel frag-
ments and accidental contact with wheel.

f
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: Do not grind with
the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off
wheels are intended 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 select-
ed 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 pow-
er tools are not suitable for the higher speed
of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional safety warnings specific for
abrasive cutting-off operations
f
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply ex-
cessive 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 break-
age.

and the possibility of kickback or wheel break-
age.
f
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 direct-
ly at you.

ly at you.
f
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 other-
wise kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause
of wheel binding.

wise kickback may occur. Investigate and

f
Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may
bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
restarted in the workpiece.

f
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
