PERSONAL SAFETY
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, 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.
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 blade with a minimum speed rating of 6300 rpm. Many blades are not made
for hand held high speed saws and have a lower speed rating (marked on label). Such blades might brake at higher
speeds 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.
