Safety

installing or removing wheels, or when not in use.
■ Check the wheel for fissures and cracks, and test for
normal operation prior to use.
■ Do not use damaged abrasive wheel.
■ Never use a wheel that is too thick to allow outer flange
to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger wheels
will come in contact with the wheel guards, while thicker
wheels will prevent the bolt from securing the wheel on
the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a
serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.
■ Do not remove the machine’s wheel guards. Never
operate the machine with any guard or cover removed.
Make sure all guards are operating properly before
each use.
■ Do not start your abrasive cut-off machine without
checking for interference between the wheel and the
machine base support. Damage may result to the wheel
if it strikes the machine base support during operation
of the machine.
■ Do not attempt to cut wood or masonry with this cut-
off machine. Never cut magnesium or magnesium alloy
with this machine.
■ Do not tighten wheel excessively, since this can cause
cracks.
■ Always ease the abrasive wheel against the work piece
when starting to cut. A harsh impact can break the
wheel.
■ Never cut more than one workpiece at a time. Do not
stack more than one workpiece on the machine base
at a time.
■ To minimize risk of tipping machine, always support
long workpieces.
■ Cutting steel will cause sparks. Do not operate in the
presence of combustible or flammable materials.
■ Never leave tool running unattended. Do not leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
■ Always release the power switch and allow the wheel
to stop rotating before raising it out of the workpiece.
■ Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep hands away
from wheel. Do not reach underneath work or around
or under the wheel while the wheel is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove cut material while wheel is moving.
■ Never stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the wheel.
■ Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the wheel is unintentionally contacted.
■ Never perform any operation “freehand”. Always secure
the workpiece to be cut in the vice.
■ Never hand hold a workpiece. Workpiece will become
very hot while being cut.
