Further special safety
advice for disc-cutting
a) Avoid snagging the cutting disc and do not use
too much contact pressure. Do not attempt to
make excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the
cutting disc increases the load and the tendency
of the disc to twist or snag in the cut, making
kickback or disc breakage more likely.
b) Avoid the area in front of or behind the rotat-
ing cutting disc.
If the cutting disc is moving
away from you at the point of constraint in the
workpiece, then, in the event of a kickback, the
electrical power tool and the rotating disc may
be thrown towards you.
c) If the cutting disc jams or you stop work for
a while, switch the device off and hold it until
the disc comes to a complete stop. Never at-
tempt to pull the still rotating cutting disc out
of the cut as this could cause kickback.
Deter-
mine and rectify the reason for the jamming.
d) Do not switch on the device if the cutting disc
is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting disc to
reach full speed before carefully continuing
with the cut.
Otherwise the disc could snag,
jump out of the workpiece or cause a kickback.
e) Support boards or workpieces whilst cutting
to reduce the risk of kickback caused by a
jammed cutting disc.
Large workpieces may
bend under their own weight. The workpiece
must be supported to both sides of the cutting
disc and particularly near the cutting disc and
at the workpiece edge.
f) Be particularly careful when pocket cutting in
existing walls or other areas where you can-
not see what you are cutting into.
The cutting
disc plunged into the surface could cut through
gas or water pipes, electricity cables or other
objects and cause kickback.
