inspect the abrasive wheels before they contact the workpiece ensuring there
are no side-to-side movements. Should the abrasive wheel wobble from side-
to-side or if the tip appears broken, replace them immediately. If the vibration
still exists, check the bearings and the motor shaft and repair or replace them
as soon as possible. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION can cause severe damage to both
the workpiece and the Cut-off saw.

ened and placed at the proper angle for the cutting job before the Cut-off saw
is put into use. If not properly adjusted, the workpiece can unexpectedly move
causing the abrasive wheel to seize resulting in damage to it or possible severe
injury to the operator.
