size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel
flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
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.
