Cut-off machine safety warnings

• The guard provided with the tool must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. Position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
• Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
• Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for larger power
tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
• The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and
flanges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power
•
tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and
installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel
and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally
break apart during this test time.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
