Thiswill ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.Cut-off machine safety warning• The guard provided with the tool must be securelyattached to the power tool and positioned formaximum safety so the least amount of wheel isexposed towards the operator. Position yourself andbystanders away from the plane of the rotatingwheel. The guard helps to protect operator frombroken wheel fragments and accidental contact withthe wheel.• Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-offwheels for your power tool. Just because anaccessory can be attached to your power tool, itdoes not assure safe operation.• The rated speed of the accessory must be at leastequal to the maximum speed marked on the powertool. Accessories running faster than their ratedspeed can break and fly apart.• Wheels must be used only for recommendedapplications. For example, do not grind with the sideof the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels areintended for peripheral grinding, side forces appliedto these wheels may cause them to shatter.• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are ofcorrect diameter for your selected wheel. Properwheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing thepossibility of wheel breakage.• Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from largerpower tools. Wheels intended for a larger power toolare not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tooland may burst.• The outside diameter and the thickness of youraccessory must be within the capacity rating of yourpower tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot beadequately guarded or controlled.• The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properlyfit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flangeswith arbour holes that do not match the mountinghardware of the power tool will run out of balance,vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.• Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,inspect wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool orwheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install anundamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing thewheel, position yourself and bystanders away fromthe plane of the rotating wheel and run the powertool at maximum no load speed for one minute.Damaged wheels will normally break apart duringthis test time.• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending onapplication, use face shield, safety goggles or safetyglasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearingprotectors, gloves and shop apron capable ofstopping small workpiece fragments. The eyeprotection must be capable of stopping flying debrisgenerated by various operations. The dust mask orrespirator must be capable of filtrating particlesgenerated by your operation. Prolonged exposure tohigh intensity noise may cause hearing loss.• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from workarea. Anyone entering the work area must wearpersonal protective equipment. Fragments ofworkpiece or a broken wheel may fly away andcause injury beyond immediate area of operation.• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfacesonly, when performing an operation where thecutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cuttingaccessory contacting a "live" wire may makeexposed metal parts of the power tool "live" andcould give the operator an electric shock.• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.Ifyou lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged1635 - 003 - 20.08.2021 7
