12. 

Watch out for flying sparks when operating. 
They can cause injury or ignite combustible 
materials. 

13. 

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 fire extinguisher closely available. 

14. 

Use the cutting edge of the wheel only. Never 
use side surface. 

15. 

If the wheel stops during the operation, makes 
an odd noise or begins to vibrate, switch off 
the tool immediately. 

16. 

Always switch off and wait for the wheel to 
come to a complete stop before removing, 
securing workpiece, working vise, changing 
work position, angle or the wheel itself. 

17. 

Do not touch the workpiece immediately after 
operation; it is extremely hot and could burn 
your skin. 

18. 

Store wheels in a dry location only.
