edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for grinding
and cutting-off operations
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Use only wheel types that are
recommended for your power tool and the
specific guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
• The grinding surface of centre depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane of
the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that
projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot
be adequately protected.
• The guard must be securely attached to
the power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator.The guard
helps to protect the operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
• Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel fIanges
that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel.Proper wheel anges support
the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. anges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel fIanges.
• Do not use worn down wheels from
larger power tools.Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
Additional safety instructions for cutting-off
operations
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Do not jam the 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 binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
• Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away from
your body, the possible kickback may propel the
spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
• When wheel is binding 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 binding.
• 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.
