WARNING:
When using an abrasive cut-off / diamond wheel,
•
be sure to use only the special wheel guard
designed for use with cut-off wheels. (In some
European countries, when using a diamond wheel,
the ordinary guard can be used. Follow the
regulations in your country.)
NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
•
Do not "jam" the 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, wheel
breakage and overheating of the motor may occur.
Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece.
•
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter
into the cut moving the tool forward over the
workpiece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is started in the workpiece.
During cutting operations, never change the angle
•
of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off
wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack

and break, causing serious personal injury.
A diamond wheel shall be operated perpendicular
•
to the material being cut.
Operation with wire cup brush (optional
accessory)
CAUTION:
Check operation of brush by running tool with no
•
load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line with
brush.
Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out of
•
balance. Use of damaged brush could increase
potential for injury from contact with broken brush
wires.

Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy
access to spindle. Remove any accessories on spindle.
Thread wire cup brush onto spindle and tighten with
supplied wrench. When using brush, avoid applying too
much pressure which causes over bending of wires,
leading to premature breakage.
