Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and
cutting-off operations
• Use only wheel types that are specified
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 de-
pressed wheels must be mounted be-
low the plane of the guard lip. An im-
properly 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 oper-
ator. The guard helps to protect the oper-
ator from broken wheel fragments, acci-
dental contact with wheel and sparks that
could ignite clothing.
• Wheels must be used only for specified
applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive
cut-off wheels are intended for peripher-
al 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. A wheel intended for
larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
• When using dual purpose wheels al-
ways use the correct guard for the ap-
plication being performed. Failure to
use the correct guard may not provide
the desired level of guarding, which could
lead to serious injury.
Additional safety warnings specific for
cutting-off operations
• Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut. Over-
GB
stressing 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.
• 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 pos-
sible kickback may propel the spinning
wheel and the power tool directly at you.
• When the wheel is binding or when in-
terrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold it motion-
less until the wheel comes to a com-
plete 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 correct-
ive action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
• 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 work-
piece.
• Support panels or any oversized work-
piece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large work-
pieces 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.
• Use extra caution when making a
"pocket cut" into existing walls or oth-
er blind areas. The protruding wheel may
cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
• Do not attempt to do curved cutting.
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,
which can lead to serious injury.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations
• Be aware that wire bristles are thrown
by the brush even during ordinary op-
eration. Do not overstress the wires by
applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate light
clothing and/or skin.
