Specific safety instructions
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Always use guard provided with the tool. 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. Position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your power tool.
Just because an accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cutoff 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 diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges with
arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect
the wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool or
wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing the
wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged
wheels will normally break apart during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the
operator.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you lose control of the power tool, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
wheel’s rotation at the point of the binding.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up.
