job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.
Use only accessories that are recom- mended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. For example: internal wires may be misplaced or pinched, safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Abrasive Cut-Off Machine Safety Rules
Always use wheel guard, foot plate and auxiliary handle with this abrasive cut off machine. The guard must always be securely attached to the tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed on the operators side of the tool. A guard protects operator from broken wheel fragments. The foot plate and auxiliary handle provide additional guarding, stability and control in cut off applications.
Abrasive cut off wheels must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the abrasive wheels may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Always be certain that the wheel guard, foot plate and auxiliary handle are reassembled and securely fastened to the
machine when changing the point of operation from fire forward to fire reverse or after changing the wheels. A tool missing an essential safety component is dangerous to operate.
Wear proper apparel while using an abrasive cut off machine. Face shield or at least safety goggles, dust mask, leather gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small wheel or workpiece fragments.
This machine is not intended to be used with Wet Diamond Wheels. Using water or other liquid coolants with this machine may result in electrocution or shock. Use of Dry Diamond Wheels is acceptable.
Use only Type 1 abrasive cut off wheels with the correct size arbor hole. Never use damaged or incorrect wheel flanges or round nut. Other types of wheels are not intended to apply load on periphery and may shatter. Wheels with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the tool will run eccentrically, vibrate excessively and will cause loss of control.
