CM1450 14" Abrasive Cut-Off Machine
• Keep the lower wheel guard attached and working
properly. Keep your body position to either side of
the wheel, but not in line with the wheel. Is important
to position your body and the guard to minimize body
exposure from the possible fragments of a burst wheel.
• Do not grind against the side of these abrasive cut-
off wheels. Do not allow the wheel to twist or bind.
Side forces applied to these wheels may cause them
to shatter.
• Before each use inspect the cut-off wheel for
chips and cracks. Do not use a wheel that may be
damaged. When installing a new wheel carefully
handle individual cut-off wheels to avoid chip-
ping or cracking. Run the tool at no load for one
minute, holding the tool's cutting head down and
in the direction away from people. Wheels with
flaws will normally break apart during this time.
Fragments from a wheel that bursts during operation
may strike you or bystanders.
• Do not "jam" the abrasive wheel into the work or
apply excessive pressure while using this ma-
chine. Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel,
especially when working corners and sharp edges.
If the wheel is damaged due to misuse it may develop
cracks and eventually burst or shatter without warning.
• Always use the vice to clamp the work and prop-
erly support the over-hanging portion of the work-
piece level with the base of the machine. Proper
support of workpiece is important to keep the cut-off
and overhanging pieces from falling.
• Do not use this tool with "wood carving" blade or
standard wood cutting toothed blades. These
blades are not intended for this machine and can cre-
ate loss of control during use.
• This tool and abrasive wheel are not intended to
cut wood or wood products. Abrasive wheels cut by
grinding or fretting while in workpiece with the embed-
ded grit in the wheel. These grits may grab wood and
cause loss of control or could cause the wood to burn
due to friction heating.
• Do not set or mount the tool on a flammable sur-
face or use the abrasive cut-off machine near
flammable materials. During operation the wheel
ejects sparks and hot chips from grinding on the work-
piece. These sparks could ignite flammable materials.
• Never cut or attempt to cut magnesium with this
tool. The dust generated when cutting magnesium is
highly flammable and may be explosive under certain
conditions.

• Do not use any type of cutting lubricant with this
cut-off tool. Lubricant may enter motor resulting in an
increased risk of electrical shock.
• Do not cut or attempt to cut masonry, stone or
ceramic. The fine dust created when cutting will dam-
age the motor.
