3)
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 operator
from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
4)
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.
5)
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.
6)
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.
Additional safety warnings
specific for abrasive cutting-
off operations:
1)
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.
2)
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.
3)
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.
4)
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.
5)
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.
6)
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.
