When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the air tool and hold the air
tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. never attempt to
remove the cut-off wheel from the cut
while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
4.
do not restart the cutting operation
in the workpiece. let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully reenter the
cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the air tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
5.
support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under
the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
6.
use extra caution when making a
"pocket cut" into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause
kickback.

or long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly
or for an extended period should first
be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure

or physical symptoms related to vibration
(such as tingling, numbness, and white
or blue fingers), seek medical advice as
soon as possible.

vibration-related injury.

Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when
there is a choice between different
processes.
5.
Include vibration-free periods each day
of work.
6.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still
keeping safe control of it). Let the tool
do the work.
