Additional Safety Instructions for
Chop Saws
•
Always wear proper eye and respiratory protection.
•
Before using, inspect the cutting wheel for cracks or
flaws. If such a crack or flaw is evident, discard the
wheel. The wheel should also be inspected whenever
you think the tool may have been dropped. Flaws
may cause wheel breakage.
•
When starting the tool with a new or replacement
wheel or if you are unsure of the condition of the
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.
•
In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it
rough treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect
the wheel for cracks or flaws.
•
Clean your chop saw periodically following the
procedure in this manual.
•
Do not remove wheel guards or base.
•
Cut-off machines shall be provided with the means to
facilitate the fixing of the machine to a bench to prevent
sliding; e.g. by providing holes or clamping surfaces in
the base.
•
ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL FIXTURE TO
CLAMP WORK SECURELY. Other aids such as spring,
bar, or C-clamps may be appropriate for certain
sizes and shapes of workpiece. Use care in selecting
and placing these clamps and make a dry run before
making a cut.
•
Use only 14" (355 mm) type 1 wheels rated at
4000 rpm or higher.
•
Allow cut off parts to cool before handling.
•
Do not attempt to cut wood or plastic with this tool.
•
NEVER CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS TOOL.
Use chop saw in a well-ventilated area.
•
•
Turn chop saw off before removing any pieces from
the base.
•
DO NOT CUT ELECTRICALLY LIVE MATERIAL.
•
Do not use circular saw blades or any other toothed
blades with this tool. Serious injury may result.
•
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Sparks or hot chips
from cutting or arcing motor brushes may ignite
combustible materials.
•
Ensure that the abrasive cutting-off wheel is
correctly fitted and tightened before use including
running the machine at no-load for 30 seconds
in a safe position. Stop immediately and replace the
cutting-off wheel if there is considerable vibration.
•
Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a
deburring grinder. This will substantially weaken the
wheel creating an unsafe condition. The wheel may
come apart.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
CAUTION: Spark deflector will get hot. Avoid touching
or adjusting while hot. Keep cordset and materials
away from spark deflector.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust
exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
