○ Wipe off all fuel spills and allow any remaining
fuel to evaporate before starting engine.
○ Move at least 10 ft (3 m) away from fueling site
before starting engine.
○ Stop engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before opening fuel tank cap.
○ Store the machine and fuel in area where fuel
vapors cannot reach sparks or open fl ames
from water heaters, electric motors or switches,
furnaces, etc.
WARNING
Fuel is highly fl ammable and its fumes should not
be inhaled. Be particularly careful when handling
the machine as the sparks produced when cutting
metal can easily ignite any fuel spillage.
Cutting safety
○ Keep bystanders at a safe distance, away from
the work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment. Flying
fragments from the workpiece or the cut-off wheel
may cause injury.
Children,
other
animals must remain well away from the work
area.
○ Hold the machine fi rmly with the right hand on the
rear handle and the left hand on the front handle.
○ Keep fi rm footing and balance. Do not over-
reach.
○ Keep all parts of your body away from the muffl er
and cutting attachment when the engine is
running.
○ Make sure to check the work area for any hidden
hazards such as water or gas pipes, electrical
cables and fl ammable substances.
○ Never place the machine on the ground when
running.
○ Always ensure that the engine is shut off and
any
cutting
attachments
stopped before clearing debris from the cutting
attachment.
○ Always carry a fi rst-aid kit when operating any
power equipment.
○ The muffl er gets very hot during and after use.
This also applies during idling.
Be aware of the fi re hazard, especially when
working near fl ammable substances and/or
vapours.
WARNING
○ Exhaust gases from the engine are hot and may
contain sparks which can cause a fi re.
Also, sparks are generated when cutting metal
with this machine.
Never use the machine where fl ammable
substances and gases are present.

○ Sparks

can cause fi res. Always have adequate fi re
extinguishing equipment available.
○ When relocating to a new work area, be sure to
shut off the machine and ensure that all cutting
attachments are stopped.
○ Always ensure that the engine is shut off and any
cutting attachments have completely stopped
before moving.
Gyroscopic forces occur when moving while
the engine is operating and the cut-off wheel is
rotating. This may cause you to lose control of the
machine.
○ Never cut materials that consist of asbestos.
○ Never leave the engine running while unattended
(e.g. on the ground).
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging
causes sudden stalling of the rotating wheel which
in turn causes the machine to be forced in the
direction opposite of the wheel's rotation at the point
and
of the binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of
the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig
into the surface of the material causing the wheel
to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on
the direction of the wheel's movement at the point
of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the machine which could result in serious
personal injury.
Kickback is the result of cut-off machine misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
that can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
○ Kickback occurs when the upper angle of the cut-
off wheel is used or touches an object when the
cut-off wheel is running. Pay special attention not
to touch the upper angle of the cut-off wheel to
any object. (Fig. 2, Fig. 3)
