Cut-off machine safety warnings

a) The guard provided with the tool must be secu-
rely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. Position your-
self 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 running 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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are
of correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from
larger power tools. Wheels intended for a larger
power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot
be adequately guarded or controlled.
h) 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.
i) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power
tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and
installing the wheel, position yourself and bystan-
ders away from the plane of the rotating wheel
and run the power tool at maximum no load speed
for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally break
apart during this test time.
j) Wear personal protective equipment. Depen-
ding on application, use face shield, safety gog-
gles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various opera-
tions. The dust mask or respirator must be capable
of filtrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
k) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of work-
piece or of a broken wheel may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
l) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a „live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
„live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning ac-
cessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning wheel.
n) Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
wheel may grab the surface and pull the power tool
out of your control.
o) Do not run the power tool while carrying it
at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the acces-
sory into your body.
p) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
q) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
r) Do not use accessories that require liquid coo-
lants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result
in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the wheel's rotation at the point of the
binding.
