e) When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
o
ff
the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-o
ff
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 pinching or snagging.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. 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 workpiece.
g) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching
and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
h) 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.
