OPERATION
NOTE:
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before changing
accessories or when making repairs.
NOTE:
Before using, test cut-off wheel by briefly running the tool
at full throttle under a barrier (such as under a heavy work table)
to stop any possible broken wheel parts.
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face
protection to guard against flying debris
(users and bystanders).
Even small projectiles can
injure eyes and cause blindness. A cut-off wheel
that breaks can cause very serious injury. Daily
measure the tool speed with a tachometer to make
sure the speed is not greater than the RPM marked
on the cut-off wheel.
Never use a cut-off wheel
marked with a speed lower than the tool speed.
When using the cut-off tool, be careful not to exert excessive
force. Too much force could be hazardous if it causes the tool
spindle to bend or break. The burning of the work piece or exces-
sive speed reduction indicates too much force being applied. Start
the tool off the work, set it down on the work evenly and move in
the direction desired to make the cut. When finished cutting, lift
off the work before stopping the motor.
Always use the required wheel guard to prevent injury from
broken cutting parts.
If a guard has withstood a wheel breakage,
discontinue its use and replace it with a new guard.
It may be
damaged. Position the guard between the cut-off wheel and the
operator. Use barriers to protect others from wheel fragments
and sparks.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THIS TOOL WITHOUT
REQUIRED DISC COVER/GUARD IN PLACE.
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed
in the air supply line and make others aware of its location.
