recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury.
b) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

Cut-off Guard Safety Rules
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed
and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because
the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
• Use only Type 1/41 wheels with a maximum thickness of
3/32". Wheels for which the guard was not designed for cannot
be adequately guarded and are unsafe. The cut-off guard is not
intended to be used with standard grinding, cut-off, cup wheels or
wire brushes.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to
the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect
the accessory for chips and cracks or excess wear. If
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an
accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power
tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
• When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel,
hold the tool in a well protected area and let it run for one
minute. If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should
burst in less than one minute. Never start the tool with a person in
line with the wheel. This includes the operator.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of
