intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
Vibration caused by grinding action may be
harmful to your hands and arms.
Use only Type 1 abrasive wheels with the
correct rated diameter and arbor hole.
Never use damaged or incorrect wheel
flanges or round nut. Other types of
wheels are not intended to apply load on
periphery and may shatter. Wheels with
arbor holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the tool will run eccentrically,
vibrate excessively and will cause loss of
control.
Do not use a wheel that is larger than the
maximum recommended size for your
tool, or worn down damaged wheels from
larger abrasive cut off machines. Wheels
intended for larger tools are not suitable for
the higher speed of a smaller tool, these
wheels may easily burst and the fragments
strike you or bystanders.
Abrasive wheels must have a maximum
safe operating speed greater than the “no
load RPM” marked on the tool’s
nameplate. Wheels running over the rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Before each use inspect the wheel for
chips and cracks. Do not use a wheel
that may be damaged. Install a new
wheel if tool was dropped. When
installing a new wheel carefully handle
individual wheels to avoid chipping or
cracking. Run the tool at no load for one
minute, holding the tool in the direction
away from people. Wheels with flaws will
normally break apart during this time.
Fragments from a wheel that bursts during
operation will fly away at great velocity
possibly striking you or bystanders.
Do not grind on the side of Type 1 wheels.
Type 1 wheels use the periphery of the
wheel for the cutting action. Side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter or cause the tool to kickback.
This machine is not intended to be used
with Wet Diamond Wheels. Using water or
other liquid coolants with this machine may
result in electrocution or shock. Use of Dry
Diamond Wheels is acceptable.
Do not use this tool with “Woodcarving”
blade or standard wood cutting toothed
blades. These blades are not intended for
this machine and can create loss of control
during use.
Position the cord clear of the spinning
wheel. Do not wrap the cord around your
arm or wrist. If you lose control and have
the cord wrapped around your arm or wrist,
it may entrap you and cause injury.
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 the possible
wheel binding and the kickback of the tool.
Keep hands away from cutting area and
wheel. Keep your second hand on
auxiliary handle. Hold the machine firmly
to prevent loss of control. NEVER place
your hand behind the wheel since the
machine may kickback over your hand.
Do not attempt to remove cut material
when wheel is moving. If both hands are
holding the machine, the wheel cannot cut
them.
Do not “jam” the abrasive wheel into the
work, apply excessive pressure or
attempt to use large depths of cut while
using this machine. Let the rotating wheel
do the work, Abrasive Machines are
intended to “cut” the material in a series of
shallow depth of cuts. See the instructions
for depth of cut later in this manual.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel,
especially when working corners, sharp
edges etc. This can cause loss of control
and machine’s kickback.
When making cuts into blind areas check
for live electrical wiring, gas lines or water
lines before starting your job. Contact
with any of these can lead to serious
personal injury and/or property damage.
Check with local utility company to shut off
and drain these sources before work begins.
Do not run the machine while carrying it
at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning wheel could result in serious
personal injury.
Never lay the tool down until the motor
has come to a complete standstill. The
spinning wheel can grab the surface and pull
the tool out of your control.
Do not use an abrasive machine near
flammable materials. Sparks from the
wheel could ignite these materials.
Regularly clean the tool’s air vents by
compressed air. Excessive accumulation
of powdered metal inside the motor housing
may cause electrical failures.
