b) 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 spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) 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.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the work piece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut
. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the work piece.
e) Support panels or any oversized work piece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching
and kickback
. Large work pieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must
be placed under the work piece near the line of cut and near the edge of the work
piece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
that can cause kickback.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and cutting-off operations (Part 2)
• Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control
• The grinding surface of center depressed wheels must be mounted below the
plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected
WARNING:
We recommend that you use a circuit breaker with current protection up to 30 mA.
