ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTINg-OFF
OPERATIONS
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINgS SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE
CUTTINg-OFF OPERATIONS:
Do not “jam” the cut-off 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 or
wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating
wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away
from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the
wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
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.
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. 5
