Do not "jam" a cut-off wheel or apply
•
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make
an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility
to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
Do not position your hand in line with and
•
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away from
your hand, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly
at you.
When wheel is pinched, snagged or when
•
interrupting 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 corrective action
to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or
snagging.
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 workpiece
•
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports 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.
Additional safety instructions for wire
brushing operations
Safety warnings specific for wire
brushing operations:
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
•
the brush even during ordinary operation.
Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/
or skin.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed
•
for at least one minute before using them.
During this time no one is to stand in front
or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or
wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
Direct the discharge of the spinning wire
•
brush away from you. Small particles and
tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high
velocity during the use of these brushes and
may become imbedded in your skin.
The maximum recommended diameter of
•
mounted wheels, threaded cones and plugs
shall not exceed 2-5/32" (55 mm) and that the
maximum recommended diameter of sanding
accessories shall not exceed 3-5/32" (80 mm).
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding,
•
sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
Lead from lead-based paints.
–
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
–
other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
–
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
•
depending upon how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:
Work in a well-ventilated area.
–
Work with approved safety equipment,
–
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from
–
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to
get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
