Wheel Instructions

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - HAND-HELD ABRASIVE CUT-OFF GRINDER

1.To reduce the risk of injury, avoid inhalation of dust generated by grinding and cutting operations. Exposure to dust may cause respiratory ailments. Use approved NIOSH or OSHA respirators, safety glasses or face shields, gloves and protective clothing. Provide adequate ventilation to eliminate dust, or to maintain dust level below the Threshold Limit Value for nuisance dust as classified by OSHA.

2.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of tool “live” and shock the operator.

3.Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.

4.WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•lead from lead-based paint

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

5.Use only the edge (not the sides) of the wheel for cutting. Do not allow the wheel to twist or bind.

6.Keep hands and body away from the rotating wheel. Do not wear loose clothing when using this tool.

7.Store cut-off wheels with care. Do not drop them or subject them to excessive heat, cold or humidity.

8.Make sure that all wheel flanges and other mounting hardware are in good condition and are always used properly. Defective or missing parts may cause damage to the wheel. Always use mounting flanges supplied with the tool.

9.Cutting with a damaged wheel is very hazardous. After installing a new wheel, leave the tool unplugged and rotate the wheel by hand to see if it is uneven, warped, or cracked. If so, discard the wheel and replace it with a new one. Do not use a wheel that has been dropped; impact may result in breakage.

10.Before starting a cut, step back from the tool and make a trial run to confirm that the wheel is in good condition. Trial run periods are: When replacing a cut-off wheel — over 3 minutes.

When starting routine work — over 1 minute.

11.Before installing a cut-off wheel, always inspect it for cracks. Visually check resinoid and rubber-bonded wheels for cracks. Replace cracked wheel immediately.

12.Always check maximum operating speed established for wheel against grinder speed. Do not exceed the maximum operating speed that is marked on the wheel.

13.Do not force a wheel onto the grinder or alter the size of the arbor hole. Don't use a wheel that fits the arbor too loosely. If the wheel doesn't fit the grinder, get one that does.

14.Do not set the depth of cut to more than 1/2". Make successive passes to achieve a greater depth of cut. Cutting at a depth of more than 1/2" will damage the wheel.

15.Do not attempt to install saw blades on this tool because it is not designed for this type of blade.

16.Do not overtighten wheel nut.

17.Start cutting only after the motor has reached full speed.

18.Release switch immediately if the cut-off wheel stops rotating or if the motor sounds like it is straining.

19.Keep flammable and fragile objects away from this tool. Do not allow cut-off sparks to contact the operator's hands, face or feet.

20.Place the tool securely on a flat, level surface.

21.Always use the tool with the proper voltage specified on the tool's nameplate.

22.Never touch a short cut-off piece until it cools.

23.Never attempt to cut material larger than the rated capacity listed in “Specifications”.

24.Never stand in line with the wheel while cutting. Always stand to the side.

25.Always keep guards in place.

26.Always start the cut gently. Do not bump or bang a wheel to start a cut.
