This could cause the wheel to loosen and could
create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and
allow the wheel to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
your cut-off machine from the power supply and securely
retighten the wheel arbor bolt after checking the wheel
for damage.
NEVER
leave the cut-off machine unattended while
connected to a power source.
IF ANY PART OF THIS CUT-OFF MACHINE IS MISSING
or should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any
electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off
the power switch, remove the machine plug from the
power source and have damaged, missing, or failed parts
replaced before resuming operation.
MAKE SURE THE CUT-OFF WHEEL IS SECURELY
MOUNTED
as described in the operating instructions
before connecting the tool to a power supply. Do not
tighten wheel excessively, since this can cause cracks.
CHECK THE WHEEL FOR FISSURES AND CRACKS,
and test for normal operation prior to use.
ONLY USE A CUT-OFF WHEEL RATED FOR 3,900 RPM
OR GREATER
and manufactured in compliance with
ANSI B7.1. Always store wheels in a dry place with little

when starting to cut. A harsh impact can break
the wheel.
BEFORE CUTTING

the cut-off wheel to reach full speed.
MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING
to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with
safe operation
BEFORE
performing any work using your
cut-off machine.
ALWAYS STAY ALERT!
Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your cut-off machine) to cause a
careless mistake.
ALWAYS REMEMBER
that a careless
fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
USE ONLY FLANGES
furnished with this cut-off
machine.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUT.
Excessive
tightening can cause the wheel to crack during
operation.

machine.
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED,
it must
be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
