through the plane of the guard lip cannot
be adequately protected.
► The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental con-
tact with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
► Wheels must be used only for recom-
mended 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.
► Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel.
Proper wheel fl ang-
es support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for
cut-off wheels may be diff erent from grind-
ing wheel fl anges.
►
Do not use worn down wheels from
larger power tools. Wheel intended for
larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
Additional Safety Warnings spe-
cifi c for Abrasive Cutting Off oper-
ations
►
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut. Over-
stressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
► 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 kick-
back may propel the spinning wheel and
the power tool directly at you.
► When wheel is binding or when inter-
rupting 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 correc-
tive action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
► Do not restart the cutting operation in
the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully reenter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
► Support panels or any oversized work-
piece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight. Sup-
ports must be placed under the workpiece
near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
► 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.
Safety Warnings specifi c for Wire
Brushing operations
► Be aware that wire bristles are thrown
by the brush even during ordinary op-
eration. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate light
clothing and/or skin.
► If the use of a guard is recommended
for wire brushing, do not allow any in-
terference of the wire wheel or brush
with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may
expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
Additional Safety and Working In-
structions
►
Use suitable detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area
or call the local utility company for as-
sistance. Contact with electric lines can
lead to fi re and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating
a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
► Dust from materials such as lead-con-
taining coatings, some wood types,
minerals and metal can be harmful to
one’s health and cause allergic reac-
tions, lead to respiratory infections and/
or cancer. Materials containing asbestos
may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction
system suitable for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 fi lter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
