SAFETY WARNINGS General power tool safety warnings WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc- tions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed belowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/orserious injury. Save all warnings and instruc- tions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated(corded)powertoolorbattery-operated (cordless) power tool. Cut-o󰀨 machine safety warnings

1. Position yourself and bystanders away from

the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps toprotecttheoperatorfrombrokenwheelfrag- ments and accidental contact with wheel.

2. Use only bonded reinforced cut-o󰀨 wheels for

your power tool.Justbecauseanaccessorycan beattachedtoyourpowertool,itdoesnotassure safe operation.

3. The rated speed of the accessory must be at

least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than theirratedspeedcanbreakandyapart.

4. Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-o󰀨 wheel.Abrasivecut-o󰀨 wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

5. Always use undamaged wheel anges that are

of correct diameter for your selected wheel. Properwheelangessupportthewheelthus reducingthepossibilityofwheelbreakage.

6. The outside diameter and the thickness of your

accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannotbeadequatelyguardedorcontrolled.

7. The arbour size of wheels and anges must

properly t the spindle of the power tool. Wheelsandangeswitharbourholesthatdonot match the mounting hardware of the power tool willrunoutofbalance,vibrateexcessivelyand may cause loss of control.

8. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,

inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If the power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damagedwheelswillnormallybreakapartduring this test time.

9. Wear personal protective equipment.

Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro- priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,8 ENGLISH gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eyeprotectionmustbecapableofstoppingying debrisgeneratedbyvariousoperations.Thedust maskorrespiratormustbecapableofltrating particlesgeneratedbyyouroperation.Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hear- ing loss.

10. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragmentsofworkpieceorofabrokenwheelmay yawayandcauseinjurybeyondimmediatearea of operation.

11. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The

motor’s fan can draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

12. Do not operate the power tool near ammable

materials. Do not operate the power tool while placed on a combustible surface such as wood. Sparks could ignite these materials.

13. Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants.Usingwaterorotherliquidcoolants may result in electrocution or shock. Kickback and related warnings Kickbackisasuddenreactiontoapinchedorsnagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolledcuttingunittobeforcedupwardstoward the operator. Forexample,ifanabrasivewheelissnaggedor pinchedbytheworkpiece,theedgeofthewheelthat is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface ofthematerialcausingthewheeltoclimboutorkick out.Abrasivewheelsmayalsobreakunderthese conditions. Kickbackistheresultofpowertoolmisuseand/or incorrectoperatingproceduresorconditionsandcanbe avoidedbytakingproperprecautionsasgivenbelow.

1. Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and

position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control upwardkickbackforces,ifproperprecautionsare taken.

2. Do not position your body in line with the

rotating wheel.Ifkickbackoccurs,itwillpropel the cutting unit upwards toward the operator.

3. Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade,

segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Suchbladescreatefrequentkickbackandlossof control.

4. Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive

pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases theloadingandsusceptibilitytotwistingorbinding ofthewheelinthecutandthepossibilityofkick- backorwheelbreakage.

5. When the wheel is binding or when interrupt-

ing a cut for any reason, switch o󰀨 the power tool and hold the cutting unit motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminatethecauseofwheelbinding.

6. Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut.Thewheelmaybind, walkuporkickbackifthepowertoolisrestartedin the workpiece.

7. Support any oversized workpiece to minimize

the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supportsmustbeplacedundertheworkpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the work- pieceonbothsidesofthewheel. Additional safety warnings

1. Watch out for ying sparks when operating.

Theycancauseinjuryorignitecombustible materials.

2. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold

work when practical. It's safer than using your handanditfreesbothhandstooperatetool.

3. Secure the cut-o󰀨 wheel carefully.

4. Be careful not to damage the spindle, anges

(especially the installing surface) or bolt, or the cut-o󰀨 wheel itself might break.

5. Keep guards in place and in working order.

6. Hold the handle rmly.

7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

8. Make sure the cut-o󰀨 wheel is not contacting

the work-piece before the switch is turned on.

9. Before each use, watch for utter or excessive

vibration that might be caused by poor instal- lation or a poorly balanced wheel.

10. Remove material or debris from the area

that might be ignited by sparks. Be sure that others are not in the path of the sparks. Keep a proper, charged re extinguisher closely available.

11. If the cut-o󰀨 wheel stops during the opera-

tion, makes an odd noise or begins to vibrate, switch o󰀨 the tool immediately.

12. Always switch o󰀨 and wait for the cut-o󰀨 wheel

to come to a complete stop before removing, securing workpiece, working vise, changing work position, angle or the cut-o󰀨 wheel itself.

13. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after

operation; it is extremely hot and could burn your skin.

14. Store wheels in a dry location only.
