Functional Description; Adjusting The Grooving Depth - Makita SG1251 Instruction Manual

i) 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.
j) 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.
18. Before using a segmented diamond wheel,
make sure that the diamond wheel has the
peripheral gap between segments of 10 mm or
less, only with a negative rake angle.
Additional Safety Warnings:
19. Never attempt to cut with the tool held upside
down in a vise. This can lead to serious
accidents, because it is extremely dangerous.

inhalation and skin contact. Follow material
