c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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
burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
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 reenter
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.
f) Use extra caution when making a
"pocket cut" into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
