d) Always use undamaged flanges of a correct size and shape for the wheel you have
selected. Correct flanges support the wheel and minimize the risk of it breaking.
Flanges for cutting wheels can be different from those which are used for
grinding wheels.
e) Never use worn-down wheels designed for use with a larger power tool.
Wheels intended for larger power tools do not have the same speed rating as
those intended for use with smaller tools and can therefore shatter.
Additional safety precautions for cutting with a cutting wheel
a) Do not force the cutting 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.
b) 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.
c) 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 attempt to remove the cutting 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.
d) 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
out of the cut or kickback, if cutting is restarted with the wheel in the workpiece.
e) Support large planks or other large workieces in order to minimize the risk of
getting stuck 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 cutting wheel.
f) Be especially careful when plunge sawing into 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
a) Do not use sanding discs which are too large. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations when selecting sanding discs. 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
a) 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.
b) If a shatter guard is recommended when wire 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.
