CUT-OFF TOOL/GRINDER/SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
„ Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of cor-
rect size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the pos-
sibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may
be different from grinding wheel flanges.
„ Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
A wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for
the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
„ When using dual purpose wheels always use the cor-
rect guard for the application being performed. Failure
to use the correct guard may not provide the desired level
of guarding, which could lead to serious injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC
FOR 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 the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold it
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 mini-
mize 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 attempt to do curved cutting. 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, which can lead to serious
injury.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
SANDING OPERATIONS
„ Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manu-
facturers recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending too far beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
„ Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts,
operating the tool, or performing maintenance. Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
„ Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
„ Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
„ Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-
trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not
using your battery tool or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
„ Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and pos-
sibly injury.
„ Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
„ Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
„ Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products
in locations where the temperature is less than 50° F
or more than 100° F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
„ Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat-
tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with
your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If
liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water
for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical
attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of seri-
ous personal injury.
