SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

Read, understand, and follow all warnings and instructions in this and the K750 manuals. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury as well as damage to the equipment. It is not possible to cover all possible risk situations that can arise in conjunction with pipe cutting and beveling within these instructions. Use common sense and caution at all times.

Remember: “If you don’t know – don’t do.”

The SpeedMill may not be modified from its original design without the manufacturer’s approval in writing. Unapproved modifications can result in serious injury.

All operators must be trained in the proper use of this machine. It is the owner’s responsibility to explain the content of this manual to all operators and ensure that they receive the necessary training to safely operate this machine.

Stay alert; watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating this SpeedMill or any other power tool. Do not use when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication, or any substance that could affect your judgment. A moment of inattention during operation may result in serious personal injury.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach or operate from a ladder. Do not operate above chest height. If necessary use proper scaffolding to reach a safe operating height.

Use personal safety equipment. Always wear eye protection, hard hat, hearing protection, non-slip safety shoes and gloves. Respirator mask must be used when dry-cutting. (Reference OSHA 29CFR 1910.95, 1910.133-138)

Dress properly. Never wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep long hair tied back. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from the rotating blade.

The operator must wear protective clothing appropriate to the work he is doing.

Do not use the SpeedMill if the ON/OFF switch does not turn it on or off. Have the switch replaced before the SpeedMill is used again.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep the work area organized. Maintain a firm grip of the SpeedMill and have a proper footing and balance at all times.

Do not operate your SpeedMill in an explosive atmosphere. Sparks may ignite flammable liquids, gases, or dust. This is a concern when old pipes are being repaired.

Keep all bystanders at a safe distance. Bystanders can be a distraction that can cause you to lose control.

CHOICE OF BLADE

Use only 12” high speed abrasive concrete cutting blades for cutting specified PVC pipe with the SpeedMill.

Use only blades designated High Speed blades with a minimum speed rating of 6300 rpm. Many blades are not made for hand held high speed saw and they all have a lower speed rating (marked on their label) Such blades might brake at higher speed with possible severe injury as a result.

Diamond blades shall not be used while cutting any plastic pipe due to the increased risk of “kick-back”. (Regard- ing kick-back see K750 operation manual).

Use of carbide tipped blades or any blade with cutting teeth, is a violation of OSHA regulations and shall never be used.
