fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
d.
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.
e.
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.
f.
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.
Additional safety instructions for 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 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.
CAUTION
ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle and
housing to prevent electric shock if you saw into a "live" wire.

Shock hazard. When sawing into walls, floors or wherever
"live" electrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH
