•	Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece.
	Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter
	into the cut moving the tool forward over the
	workpiece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up
	or kickback if the power tool is started in the
	workpiece.
•	During cutting operations, never change the angle
	of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off
	wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack
	and break, causing serious personal injury.
