WARNINGS AND SAFETY RULES
1. Wear proper clothing. Always use ANSI-approved safety impact goggles when
assembling or using this cutoff tool. Wear long sleeved shirts, long pants and hard-toed
shoes. Take off any loose fitting jewelry and keep long hair covered to prevent being
caught in moving parts.
2. Wear proper breathing protection. Remember that a “dust mask” is not a breathing
respirator. Use a respirator that uses charcoal filters for the best protection.
3. Keep work area clean and well lighted. A dim and/or cluttered work area invites
personal injury.
4. Keep children and pets away from work areas. Children can be a distraction and
should be supervised by an adult when near the work area. Never allow children to play
with this product even if it is turned off.
5. Store idle tools properly. Keep this cutoff tool out of the reach of children and untrained
operators.
6. Do not use the cutoff tool if under the influence of alcohol or prescription drugs.
Doing so may cause damage to the tool, or personal injury. Do not use this or any tool if
you are tired. Use common sense at all times.
7. Check for damaged parts. Before using this cutoff tool, carefully check for any parts that
may be missing or damaged and any other conditions that may affect the operation of this
tool. Replace or repair damaged and worn parts immediately using only qualified repair
facility.
8. Always use the proper tools. This cutoff tool was designed for a specific task. Do not
alter this tool, or use it for a purpose for which it was not intended.
9. Be careful when connecting/disconnecting air supply. It is recommended to use
quick-disconnects (not included) rather than screw-on air connections.

arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these materials, extra care should be
taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
