Additional Safety Instructions for

Chopsaws
• Always wear proper eye and respiratory
protection and a leather apron.
• Before using, inspect the cutting wheel
for cracks or flaws. If such a crack or flaw
is evident, discard the wheel. The wheel
should also be inspected whenever you
think the tool may have been dropped.
Flaws may cause wheel breakage.
• When starting the tool with a new or
replacement wheel or if you are unsure of
the condition of the wheel, hold the tool in
a well protected area and let it run for one
minute. If the wheel has an undetected crack
or flaw, it should burst in less than one minute.
Never start the tool with a person in line with the
wheel. This includes the operator.
• In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or
giving it rough treatment. If this occurs, stop
the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks or
flaws.
• Clean your chop saw periodically following the
procedure in this manual.
• Never use the machine without the guards in
place.
• Do not remove base.
• ALWAYS USE THE VISE OR SPECIAL
FIXTURE TO CLAMP WORK SECURELY.
Other aids such as spring, bar, or C-clamps
may be appropriate for certain sizes and shapes
of workpiece. Use care in selecting and placing
these clamps and make a dry run before
making a cut.
• Use only 355 mm (14") type 1 wheels rated at
4100 rpm or higher.
• Allow cut off parts to cool before handling.
• Do not attempt to cut wood or plastic with this
tool.
• NEVER CUT MAGNESIUM WITH THIS

other toothed blades with this tool. Serious
injury may result.

FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST.
Sparks or hot chips from cutting or arcing motor
brushes may ignite combustible materials.
• Ensure that the abrasive wheel is correctly fitted
and tightened before use.
• Let the tool run at no-load in a safe position
for at least 1 minute. If there is a considerable
vibration or if any other defect occurs, stop the
tool and check it to determine the cause.
• Ensure that ventilation slots are kept clear when
working in dusty conditions. First disconnect the
machine from the mains supply then clean the
openings by using a soft brush.

deburring grinder. This will substantially weaken
the wheel creating an unsafe condition. The
wheel may come apart.
• The wheel continues to rotate after the machine
is switched off.
