maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect the operator from broken
wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
c) Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter.
d) 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.
e) 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.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not "jam" the 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 binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with 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.
c) 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
EN
binding.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
