f Never place your hand near the rotating ac-

cessory. Accessory may kickback over your

hand.

f Do not position your body in the area where

power tool will move if kickback occurs.

Kickback will propel the tool in direction op-

posite to the wheel’s movement at the point

of snagging.

f Use special care when working corners,

sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snag-

ging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or

bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating

accessory and cause loss of control or kick-

back.

f Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades cre-

ate frequent kickback and loss of control over

the power tool.

Additional safety instructions for grind-

ing and cutting off operations

f Use only wheel types that are recommended

for your power tool and the specific guard

designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for

which the power tool was not designed can-

not be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

f The guard must be securely attached to the

power tool and positioned for maximum

safety, so the least amount of wheel is ex-

posed towards the operator. The guard helps

to protect operator from broken wheel frag-

ments and accidental contact with wheel.

f Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with

the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off

wheels are intended for peripheral grinding;

side forces applied to these wheels may cause

them to shatter.

f Always use undamaged wheel flanges that

are of correct size and shape for your select-

ed 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. Wheels intended for larger pow-

er tools are not suitable for the higher speed

of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional safety warnings specific for

abrasive cutting off operations

f Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply ex-

cessive 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 break-

age.

f 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 direct-

ly at you.

f 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 other-

wise kickback may occur. Investigate and

take corrective action to eliminate the cause

of wheel binding.

f Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed

and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may

bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is

restarted in the workpiece.

f 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.
