○ Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the cut-
off wheel.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating wheel and cause
loss of control or kickback. (Fig. 4)
○ Do not use cut-off wheels other than those
approved or recommended by the manufacturer.
Never use blades designed for cutting wood.
Failure to comply could result in personal
accidents or injury.
○ Do not jam the 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.
○ If the wheel binds or a cut is interrupted for any
reason, stop the engine and hold the machine
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the 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.
○ Do not restart the cutting operation with the wheel
in the workpiece. After allowing the wheel to
reach full speed, carefully re-enter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
○ Provide supports for panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize risk of wheel pinching and
kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the
workpiece so that the cutting surface to open.
