num, use an abrasive cut-off wheel
especially designed to be used on
aluminum.

wheel.
• Using the arbor wrench supplied,
make sure the arbor screw is firmly
hand tightened.
• Make sure all clamps are tight and
there is no excessive play in any
parts.
• Keep Work Area Clean. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
Floor must not be slippery.
CAUTION: When cutting any met-

could cause a fire.
Dress for safety.
Any power tool can throw foreign
objects into the eyes. This can result
in permanent eye damage. Always
wear safety goggles, (not glasses)
complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in
Canada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on
package. Everyday eyeglasses have
only impact resistant lenses. They are
not safety glasses. Safety goggles
are available at many local retail
stores. Glasses or goggles not in
compliance with ANSI or CSA could
seriously hurt you when they break.
