General Cut Offs
Release the switch
paddle when wheel
jams during cutting and remove tool
from the work piece. Restarting the tool
in the workpiece may result in
KICKBACK.
After completing a
cut and the switch
has been released, be aware of the
necessary time it takes for the wheel
to come to a complete stop during
coast down. Do NOT set the tool down
until the accessory has come to a
complete stop. A spinning wheel
contacting a hard surface will cause the
tool to walk back and may injure you.
Contact with clothing may cause the
wheel to snag and cut you.
Maintain a firm grip and operate the
switch with a decisive action. Never
force the tool. Use a light and
continuous pressure (Fig. 9).
1. Make sure material being cut is
secured in a vise or fixture before
attempting to cut.
2. Keep your body positioned to either
side of the wheel, but not in line with
the wheel. It is important to support
the tool properly and to position your
body such as to minimize body
exposure from possible wheel
binding and KICKBACK.
3. Grip the tool firmly while cutting and
always be ready and able to manage
the cut.
4. Avoid jamming, twisting or pinching
the wheel with the workpiece of
otherwise applying excessive side
pressure to the wheel.
Cutting Tile
Make sure material being cut is secured
in a vise or fixture before attempting to
cut.
Turn the tool on and wait for the wheel
to reach full speed. For cuts that
extend to the edge of a tile, cut all the
way through edge(s) along your cut line.
Score the tile first along your cut line,
making multiple passes to progressively
cut through the tile.
This tool does not use wheels designed
for face-grinding. If your cut requires a
smooth, finished edge, use an
appropriate tile finishing tool to refine
the tile edge.
Cutting Metal
It is possible to perform limited cutting
on small stock such as copper pipe,
conduit, rebar, threaded rod, coated
wire shelving, HVAC, aluminum sheet,
gutter, and fascia.
When cutting, work with moderate feed,
adapted to the material being cut. Do
not exert side pressure onto the cutting
wheel, tilt or oscillate the tool.
When cutting profiles and square bar, it
is best to start at the smallest cross
section. Always follow precautions for
KICKBACK.
Do not apply side pressure to cutting
wheel to reduce wheel speed. The tool
should always be used so that sparks
are directed away from user.
After each use, remove the wheel and
clean the inside and outside of the
guard with compressed air. Preventive
maintenance of the guard will reduce
the probability of an accident.
