operation precautions
the guard must be securely attached
1.
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
operator from broken wheel fragments
and accidental contact with wheel.
do not “jam” the cut-off wheel
2.
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.
do not position your body in line
3.
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.
When wheel is binding or when
4.
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.
do not restart the cutting operation
5.
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.
Support panels or any oversized
6.
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
7.
“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.
Follow instructions and precautions in
8.
angle grinder manual at all times.
Use a cutting wheel/blade appropriate
9.
for the size of both the grinder and this
guard. Using a wheel/blade larger than
the grinder is designed for causes safety
problems, even if the guard can handle
the wheel/blade. (For example: The
body of a 4” grinder may be too short to
keep your hands clear of a 4.5” wheel.)
Adjust depth and lock depth knobs
10.
before use.
Hold onto grinder securely when finishing
11.
a cut because it will have a tendency to
snag the edge of the material.
Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses,
12.
NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator
and hearing protection under full face
shield along with heavy-duty work gloves
and steel-toed work boots during use.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the
13.
work area.
Do not use when tired or when under the
14.
influence of drugs or medication.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
