SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
 DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY. This could cause the wheel to loosen and could
create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and
allow the wheel to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
your cut-off machine from the power supply and securely
retighten the wheel arbor bolt after checking the wheel
for damage.
 NEVER leave the cut-off machine unattended while
connected to a power source.
 IF ANY PART OF THIS CUT-OFF MACHINE IS MISSING
or should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any
electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off
the power switch, remove the machine plug from the
power source and have damaged, missing, or failed
parts replaced before resuming operation.
 MAKE SURE THE CUT-OFF WHEEL IS SECURELY
MOUNTED as described in the operating instructions
before connecting the tool to a power supply. Do not
tighten wheel excessively, since this can cause cracks.
 CHECK THE WHEEL FOR FISSURES AND CRACKS,
and test for normal operation prior to use.
 ONLY USE A CUT-OFF WHEEL RATED FOR 3,900
RPM OR GREATER and manufactured in compliance
with ANSI B7.1. Always store wheels in a dry place with
little temperature variation.
 ALWAYS EASE THE ABRASIVE WHEEL AGAINST
THE MATERIAL when starting to cut. A harsh impact
can break the wheel.
 BEFORE CUTTING press the trigger switch and allow
the cut-off wheel to reach full speed.
 MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING
to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere
with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using
your cut-off machine.
 ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your cut-off machine) to cause a
careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless
fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
 USE ONLY FLANGES furnished with this cut-off machine.
 DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUT. Excessive
tightening can cause the wheel to crack during operation.
 FREQUENTLY clean dust from beneath the cut-off
machine.
 IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must
be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
 RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. This product has parts
such as snap switches, receptacles, and the like, which
tend to produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, when located
in a garage, the machine should be 18 in. above the floor
and located in a separate room.
 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct other users. If you loan someone
this tool, loan them these instructions also.
