Do not use worn down wheels from
f)
larger power tools. Wheels intended for
larger power tools are not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific
for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or ap-
a)
ply excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make excessively deep cuts. Over-
stressing 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.
Do not position your body in line with
b)
and behind the rotating wheel. When
the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving
away from your body, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when inter-
c)
rupting 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
d)
the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully reenter the cut. The
wheel may jam, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.

Special safety instructions
e)
workpiece to minimise 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
f)
"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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a)
paper. Follow manufacturer's recom-
mendations when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard
and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or
kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations
a)
the brush even during ordinary oper-
ation. Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can
easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b)
mended for wire brushing, do not allow
any interference of the wire wheel or
brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush
may expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
Support panels or any oversized
