ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING
AND CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-
OFF OPERATIONS:
a) 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 cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted
below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects
through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
d) 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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and
shape for your selected 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. Wheel intended
for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
10
burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS:
a) Do not "jam" the cut-off 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.
b) 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 directly at you.
c) 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 otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause
of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel
reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk
up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) 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.
