eye protection. Cutting causes small
particles to become airborne at a high rate
of speed. AlWAys wear safety goggles

cracKed Wheel. Cracked wheels
may break and fly apart during operation.
inspect wheels for damage before
each use and replace cracked wheels
immediately!
Wheel flanges. only use the flanges
included with the tool when mounting
wheels. other flanges may not properly
secure the wheel and cause an accident.
side grinding. grinding on the side
of wheels can cause them to break and
fly apart—unless they are rated for side
grinding.
Wheel speed rating. Wheels
operated at a faster speed than rated
for may break or fly apart. Before
mounting a new wheel, be sure the wheel
rpM rating is equal or higher than the
speed of the tool.
lung protection. Abrasive cutting
produces hazardous dust, which may
cause long-term respiratory problems if
breathed. Always wear a niosh approved
dust mask or respirator when cutting or
grinding.
tool stability. hold the tool with
both hands and stabilize your hands and
body against a fixed object. Free-cutting
using one hand and no support can allow
the tool to grab the workpiece and cause
you to lose your grip, leading to serious
personal injury.

wheels have the capability of making
deep cuts quickly. Keep a firm grip on the
tool and position yourself so that no body
parts are in the path of the tool.

saws are capable of creating sparks,
which could ignite flammable materials.
Make sure no flammables are in the path
of sparks or the surrounding area.

entanglement hazard. tools
with rotating components can become
entangled in hair, clothing, jewelry or
other dangling objects, resulting in serious
personal injury.
risK of electric shocK. Cutting
into workpieces with hidden wiring can
result in shock or electrocution. Check for
hidden wiring before making any cuts.
changing Wheels. disconnect the
tool from air whenever changing wheels to
prevent abrasion/laceration injuries from
accidental startup.
