ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES FOR YOUR
CUTTING-OFF MACHINES
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 operation.
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 fly 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 flanges
that are of correct diameter for your
selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges
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 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.
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 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.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
shop 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.
k) 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 wheel may fly
away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
I) Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when
