• NEVER START THE CUT-OFF SAW WITH THE
WORKPIECE IN CONTACT WITH THE ABRASIVE
WHEEL. The sudden start-up of the abrasive
wheel could cause it to fracture resulting in
pieces flying away from the Cut-off saw result-
ing in damage the workpiece, the Cut-off saw,
and/or serious injury to the operator.
• DISCONNECT THE CUT-OFF SAW POWER CORD
FROM THE AC OUTLET before making adjust-
ments to the worktable, clamps, vises, work-
pieces, changing abrasive wheels, or changing
the speed of the drill motor preventing the tool
from accidentally turning on. Failure to adhere
to this step could result in damage to both the
workpiece and the Cut-off saw as well as pos-
sible severe injury to the operator.
• TURN OFF TOOL AND WAIT FOR SAW BLADE
TO STOP before moving workpiece or changing
settings.
• THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE CUT-OFF SAW
BEFORE CHANGING TYPES OF WORKPIECES.
Combining wood and metal dust can result in
an explosion or fire.
• CONSULT EXPERT ADVICE BEFORE CUTTING
IN WORKPIECES MADE OF MAGNESIUM. The
friction generated by the abrasive wheel could
cause the magnesium to ignite resulting in a
very intense fire that could cause severe burns
to the operator and/or seriously damage the
Cut-off saw. Magnesium fires cannot be extin-
guished using fire extinguisher with an "A",
"B" or "C" rating. Only a class "D" extinguisher
(for flammable metals) should be used. Do not
attempt to extinguish a magnesium fire with
water or other liquid. The result will be an ex-
plosive reaction that could result in severe burns
or death to the operator.
• Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a
deburring grinder. This will substantially weak-
en the wheel causing an unsafe condition. The
wheel could come apart sending fragments in
all directions. Failure to adhere to this warning
could result in serious damage to the tool and/
or serious injury or even death to the operator.
• Do not alter in any way, shape, or form the
upper and lower guards around the abrasive
cutting wheel. These guards are there to protect
the operator against unexpected conditions,
such as breaking, of the cutting wheel. Any
modification of these guards voids the warran-
ties set forth by the manufacturer.
• DO NOT OPERATE THE SAW WITHOUT GUARDS
IN PLACE. NEVER PERFORM CUTTING OPERA-
TIONS NEAR FLAMMABLE GAS OR LIQUIDS.
The resulting fire and/or explosion could cause
E N G L I S H •
permanent serious injuries to the operator and
damage to the Cut-off saw and surrounding
work area.
• DO NOT PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREE-
HAND. ALWAYS CLAMP THE WORKPIECE FIRM-
LY AGAINST THE WORK TABLE. Never attempt
to hold the workpiece by hand. The abrasive
wheel can seize in the workpiece causing it to
spin rapidly. This will cause loss of control of the
workpiece resulting in severe injuries or damage
to the workpiece and Cut-off saw.
• NEVER APPLY A COOLANT DIRECTLY TO THE
WORKPIECE WHILE IT IS IN CONTACT WITH THE
ABRASIVE WHEEL. Coolant can weaken the
makeup of the abrasive wheels causing them to
fail.
• NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT OR ASSEMBLY to
workpieces in front of the Cut-off saw while it
is still running. A sudden slip could bring hands
in contact with the moving parts of the Cut-off
saw resulting in injury to the operator.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL START-
ING. Ensure the "ON/OFF" switch is set to the
"OFF" position before plugging the power cord
into the AC outlet.
• TURN THE ON/OFF SWITCH ON THE CUT-OFF
SAW TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD FROM THE ELECTRICAL RECEPTA-
CLE when the cutting operations are finished.
Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the Cut-
off saw making it ready for the next use.
• NEVER LEAVE THE CUT-OFF SAW RUNNING
UNATTENDED. WHEN FINISHED WITH A CUT-
TING OPERATION, TURN "OFF" THE CUT-OFF
SAW AND WAIT UNTIL IT COMES TO A COM-
PLETE STOP.
• SECURE THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD WHEN
THE CUT-OFF SAW IS NOT IN USE to prevent
unauthorized use of the tool and/or to prevent
children from accidentally turning it on.
