Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use safety glasses and hearing protection
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Don't abuse cord
Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect it
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
12. Secure work
Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
tool.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodi-
cally and, if damaged, have repaired by authorized
service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools
When not in use, before servicing, and when chang-
ing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting
Don't carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
18. Outdoor use extension cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
19. Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an autho-
rized service center unless otherwise indicated else-
where in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service center.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
21. Warning
The use of any other accessory or attachment other
than recommended in this operating instruction or
the catalog may present a risk of personal injury.

evant safety rules. Repairing of electric appliances

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Wear protective glasses. Also wear hearing pro-
tection during extended periods of operation.
2. Use only wheels recommended by the manufac-
turer which have a maximum operating speed at
least as high as "No Load RPM" marked on the
tool's nameplate. Use only fiberglass-reinforced
cut-off wheels.
3. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
wheel immediately.
4. Secure the wheel carefully.
5. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
6. Be careful not to damage the spindle, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt, or the
wheel itself might break.
7. Keep guards in place and in working order.
8. Hold the handle firmly.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
11. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it simply run for several minutes first. Watch for
flutter or excessive vibration that might be
caused by poor installation or a poorly balanced
wheel.
12. Watch out for flying sparks when operating.
They can cause injury or ignite combustible
materials.
13. Remove material or debris from the area that
might be ignited by sparks. Be sure that others
are not in the path of the sparks. Keep a proper,
charged fire extinguisher closely available.
14. Use the cutting edge of the wheel only. Never
use side surface.
15. If the wheel stops during the operation, makes
an odd noise or begins to vibrate, switch off the
tool immediately.
16. Always switch off and wait for the wheel to come
to a complete stop before removing, securing
workpiece, working vise, changing work posi-
tion, angle or the wheel itself.
17. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it is extremely hot and could burn
your skin.
18. Store wheels in a dry location only.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
