Safety Notes
f. Do not use the grinding wheels for cutting.
g. Only use the saw blades recommended by the manufacturer.
Cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings
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 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 run-
ning 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.
d. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges sup-
port the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
e. 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.
f. The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory
must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrect-
ly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or con-
trolled.
g. 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.
