3 YEARS
LIMITED WARRANTY
• Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback
will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
•Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard desig-
ned for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be ade-
quately guarded and are unsafe.
• The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so
the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding. Side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breaka-
ge. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
• Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. A wheel intended for larger power tool
is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst. Additional Safety Warnings
Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessi-
ve depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
• 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 spin-
ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
•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.
