Additional safety precautions for cutting with a cut-off wheel
• Do not force the cut-off wheel or apply excessive 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 is binding 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
attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is moving
because it can result in a kickback. Investigate and take the necessary measures
to minimize the risk of the wheel binding.
• After stopping, do not resume cutting with the wheel in the workpiece. Let the wheel
reach full speed first and then carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel can bind; walk
up of the cut or kickback if cutting is restarted with the wheel in the workpiece.
• Support large panels, boards or other large objects in order to minimize the risk
of pinching or kickback. Large boards tend to sag under their own weight.
Boards should be supported 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 in walls or objects where it is not
possible to see what one is sawing. The protruding wheel can cut into gas or
water pipes, electric cables, or other objects which can cause kickback.
Specific safety precautions for sanding
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 wire brushing
• Be aware 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 the use of a guard is recommended when wire brushing, make sure that there
is enough room between the brush disc and the guard. Wire wheels/brushes may
expand in diameter during use.
