bench or loor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
Safety instructions for abrasive cutting-off operations
Cut-off machine safety warnings
a) The guard provided with the tool 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.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off wheels for your power tool.
Just
because an accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe opera-
tion.
c) 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 ly apart.
d) 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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel langes that are of correct diameter for your
selected wheel.
Proper wheel langes support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger power tools.
Wheels intended
for a larger power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
g) 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.
h) The arbour size of wheels and langes must properly it the spindle of the power
tool.
Wheels and langes 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.
i) 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 undam-
aged wheel. After inspecting and installing the wheel, position yourself and bystand-
ers 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.
j) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protec-
tors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece frag-
ments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping lying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of iltrating particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
