Additional safety precautions for cutting with a cut-off wheel
• Do not force the cut-off wheel or apply too much pressure. Do not try to cut
too deeply. Overloading the wheel increases the pressure and the likelihood
of the wheel twisting or getting stuck in the cut and increases the chances of
kickback or the wheel breaking.
• Never stand in line with or behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel rotates away
from you during use, a kickback can force the rotating wheel and the power tool in
the opposite direction, i.e. towards you.
• When the wheel gets stuck or if you for some reason want to stop cutting, turn
off the power tool and hold it still until the wheel has stopped completely. Never
try to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is moving because it
can result in a kickback. Examine and take the necessary measures to minimize
the risk of the wheel jamming.
• After stopping, do not resume cutting with the wheel in the workpiece. Let
the wheel reach full speed first and then continue carefully in the previous cut.
The wheel can get stuck, wander out of the cut or kickback if cutting is restarted
with the wheel in the workpiece.
• Support large planks or other large workpieces in order to minimize the risk of
getting stuck or kickback. Large boards tend to bow under their own weight.
Boards should be support from underneath, both near the cutting line and near
the edges of the board on both sides of the cut-off wheel.
• Be especially careful when plunge sawing into walls or objects where it is not
possible to see what one is sawing. The blade can cut into gas or water pipes,
electric cables, or other objects which can cause kickback.
Specific safety precautions for dressing/roughing
• Do not use sanding discs which are too large. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations. Large sanding discs that protrude further than the backing
pad are liable to wear out the power tool and can result in the disc getting stuck,
breaking, or kickback.
Specific safety precautions for steel brushing
• Remember that bristles can dislodge from the wire brush even during normal use.
Do not force the wire brush wheel by applying too much pressure. Loose wires
from the brush can easily penetrate skin or thin clothing.
• If a shatter guard is recommended when steel brushing, make sure that the brush
wheel does not touch the shatter guard. The bristles of wire cup brushes/wire
brush wheels can expand under load or from the centrifugal force so a gap
between the shatter guard and the wheel is essential.
