sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss
of control.

anD aBrasiVE cutting-Off OPEratiOns
a. 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 cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b. the guard must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard
helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments,
accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
c. wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. for example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
d. 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.
e. 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.

fOr aBrasiVE cutting-Off OPEratiOns
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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.
