ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GRINDING AND CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Safety warnings specific for grinding
and abrasive cutting-off operations:
a ) Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of a cut‑off wheel. Abrasive cut‑off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
b ) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only
undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved
shoulder flange that are of correct size and length.
Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c ) Do not "jam" a 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 snagging of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
d ) Do not position your hand in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
e ) When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 pinching or snagging.
f ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re‑enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g ) 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.
h ) 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS
Safety warnings specific for wire
brushing operations:
a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load to
6
the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light
clothing and/or skin.
b ) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at
least one minute before using them. During this
time no one is to stand in front or in line with the
brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during
the run‑in time.
c ) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush
away from you. Small particles and tiny wire
fragments may be discharged at high velocity during
the use of these brushes and may become imbedded
in your skin.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
ROTARY TOOLS
a ) Always wear eye protection when using this tool!
b ) If accessory jams, turn tool off before freeing accessory
from the jam.
c ) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
d ) When using cutoff wheels always have the work
securely clamped. Never attempt to hold the work
with one hand while using any cutting accessory.
e ) Keep hands away from rotating accessories.
f ) Allow accessories and collets to cool before
touching with bare hands. They will be hot after using.
g ) Insure there are no foreign objects in the workpiece
such as nails which if hit could cause loss of control
of unit.
h ) Always feed the cutter into the material in the
same direction as the chips are being thrown.
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction can cause loss
of control.
i ) Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease.
This will enable better control of the tool.
j ) When cutting wood, extra care should be taken to
avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
k ) Wear ear protection. Noise level may be amplified
when using tool in enclosed spaces.
l ) This tool has an internal speed control, never use an
external speed control on this unit.
m ) Do not use worn accessories.
n ) Do not use grinding wheels that have cracks.
o ) When turning tool on, hold it away from your face, since
a damaged accessory could come apart.
Additional Safety Information

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
