WARNING
Sparks from cutting metal
can burn the operator or
cause clothing or other
objects or materials to
catch fire. Direct sparks
away from the operator
and any flammable sur-
roundings. Never cut
metal while standing on a
flammable surface, such
as wood or tar paper.
Where there is a risk of
fire, work with a fire
watch and have appropri-
ate fire extinguishing
equipment readily availa-
ble. Do not use the cut-off
machine if you cannot
direct sparks away from
flammable substances or
the operator.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe personal
injury or death from fire, exlosion or
other event, do not cut into any pipe,
drum or other container without first
ensuring that it does not contain a
volatile or flammable substance and is
not pressurized.
WARNING
When cutting into existing walls, floors or
similar structures, be alert for hidden
hazards such as electrical cables, water
and gas pipes and flammable or
pressurized materials, substances and
structures. Make sure that power, water
and gas have been shut off and pipes
drained before starting to cut.

Operating Instructions
WARNING
The wheel guard on your cut-off
machine is adjustable. It is extremely
important that the wheel guard is in
place and adjusted properly for the type
of work you are doing, your stance and
your work position. The guard should
always be adjusted so that the user is
not endangered by particles of the
material being cut, sparks or pieces of
damaged wheels, either directly or by
ricochet. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
Your cut-off machine is equipped with a
wheel guard limit stop that restricts the
positioning of the wheel guard. To
reduce the risk of injury from wheel
contact and/or reactive forces and to
avoid damaging the guarding system,
never attempt to pull the adjusting lever
past the limit stop.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of severe injury or
death, always shut off the machine and
allow the wheel to stop before
attempting to adjust the guard. After
shutting off the machine, the wheel will
continue to rotate for a few seconds
(flywheel effect). Never attempt to adjust
the guard while the engine is running or
the wheel is still rotating.
WARNING
Always check the wheel before use and
after unintentionally striking any object;
check it frequently during use when the
engine is turned off. Look for cracks and
other damage, such as cracked, missing
or broken segments on a diamond
cutting wheel. Make sure that the wheel
is undamaged and in good condition,
that it is not cracked, that no pieces have
broken off and that no segments are
loose, missing or damaged. See the
sections "Abrasive Cutting Wheels" and
"Reactive Forces" in this manual. Check
the wheel guard for cracks or other
damage. If you discover any breaks,
cracks or other damage, mount a new
guard before further use.
WARNING
It is essential to determine the exact
direction of the cut before applying the
abrasive cutting wheel to the workpiece.
Wheels are constructed for radial
pressure only. To reduce the risk of
wheel breakage and severe personal
injury or death, avoid putting lateral
pressure (side loading) on the wheel.
Hold the cut-off machine steady. Work
along a straight cutting line. To reduce
the risk of serious or fatal injury, do not
attempt to correct the position or
direction of a cut by tilting or twisting the
machine or cutting wheel, as this may
produce a high torsional load on the
abrasive cutting wheel and may cause it
to bind, break or shatter. If corrections
