DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
Safety instructions for cut-off machines
1. Cut-off machine safety warnings
a) Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced cut-off wheels for your power tool.
Just because an accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does
not assure safe operation.
c) The rated sped 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.
d) Wheels must be used only recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of a 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
diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the
wheel thus reducing possibility of wheel breakage.
f) 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.
g) 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 much the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
h) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect the wheels
for chips and cracks. If the 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.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application,
use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loos.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone
entering the work must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken wheel may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose
control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning wheel.
l) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan can
draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
m) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Do not
operate the power tool while placed on a combustible surface
such as wood. Sparks could ignite these materials.
n) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or
other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
2. Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotation wheel which
in turn causes the uncontrolled cutting unit to be forced upwards
toward the operator;
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that in entering into the pinch point
can did into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out
or kick out. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can
control upward kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel. If
kickback occurs, it will propel the cutting unit upwards toward the
operator.
c) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented
diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
d) Do not "jam" the 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.
e) When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, switch off the power tool and hold the cutting until
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the 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.
f) 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.
g) Support any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight. Support must be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
WARNING! The device is used for indoor work.
Despite the use of a safe structure by design, the use of protective
measures and additional protective measures, there is always a
residual risk of injury during work.
