Safety Warnings
power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
• The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be
mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly
mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the
guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
• The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to
protect operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory'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.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different
from grinding wheel flanges.
• 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.
• Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and cutting-off
operations Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
• Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected
wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
• The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be
mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly
mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the
guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
• The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to
