always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support
the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
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.
the outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory
must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
the arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the
spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges with arbour holes
that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
do not use a damaged wheels. before each use inspect
the wheels for chips and cracks. if power tool or wheel is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel.
after inspecting and installing the wheel, position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel
and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one
minute. Damaged wheels will normally break apart during this test
time.
wear personal protective equipment. depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
as appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a „live“ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool „live“ and could give the operator an electric shock.
position the cord clear of the spinning wheel. If you lose
control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning wheel.
never lay the power tool down until the wheel has come to
a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your
clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan
will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the wheel’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point
can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from
the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at
the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your
body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
may kickback over your hand.
do not position your body in the area where power tool will
move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc.
avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
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 over
the power tool.
do not “jam” the 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.
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.
