formed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
u
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Cut-off machine safety warnings
u
The guard provided with the tool must be securely at-
tached to the power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed to-
wards the operator. Position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments
and accidental contact with wheel.
u
Use only bonded diamond cut-off wheels for your
power tool.
Just because an accessory can be attached
to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
u
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
u
Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-
tions. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-
off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peri-
pheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
u
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of cor-
rect diameter for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage.
u
Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger
power tools.
Wheels intended for a larger power tool are
not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
u
The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
u
The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges
with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hard-
ware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate ex-
cessively and may cause loss of control.
u
Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect
the wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool or wheel
is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undam-
aged 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 max-
imum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels
will normally break apart during this test time.
u
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping flying debris gener-
ated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
u
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond im-
mediate area of operation.
u
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
u
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.
u
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop.
The spinning wheel may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
u
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
u
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
u
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-
als.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
u
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-
cution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-
ing wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the wheel’s ro-
tation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either
jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direc-
tion of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abras-
ive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
u
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
