SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to portable cut-off safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Wear hearing protection during extended
period of operation.
2. Use only wheels having a maximum operating
speed at least as high as "No Load RPM"
marked on the tool's nameplate. Use only
fiberglass-reinforced cut-off wheels.
3. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged wheel immediately. Run the tool
(with guard) at no load for about a minute,
holding tool away from others. If wheel is
flawed, it will likely separate during this test.
4. Secure the wheel carefully.
5. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
6. Be careful not to damage the spindle, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in wheel
breakage.
7. Do not operate the tool without guards in
place. Check wheel guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the tool if
wheel guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the wheel guard
into the open position.
8. Hold the handle firmly.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
11. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.
12. Watch out for flying sparks when operating.
They can cause injury or ignite combustible
materials.

13. Remove material or debris from the area that
might be ignited by sparks. Be sure that
others are not in the path of the sparks. Keep a
proper, charged fire extinguisher closely
available.
14. Use the cutting edge of the wheel only. Never
use side surface.
15. Do not attempt to keep the trigger in the ON
position.
16. If the wheel stops during operation, makes an
odd noise or begins to vibrate, switch off the
tool immediately.
17. Turn off the tool and wait for the wheel to stop
before
settings.
18. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it is extremely hot and could burn
your skin.
19. Store wheels in a dry location only.
