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.
3. Specific Safety Rules
