ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.

Do not store outside or in vehicles.
DANGER:
!
People with electronic devices, such as
pacemakers, should consult their physician(s)
before using this product. Operation of
electrical equipment in close proximity to a
heart pacemaker could cause interference or
failure of the pacemaker.
WARNING:
!
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the
state of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints
•
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products
•
Arsenic and chromium from
chemicallytreated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending upon how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:
•
Work in a well-ventilated area.
•
Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
