plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power
source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied
is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
A power source with voltage greater than that specified for
the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well
as damage to the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN
THE APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to portable cut-off safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-
sonal injury.
1. Wear hearing protection during extended
period of operation.
2. Use only wheels having a maximum operat-
ing 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 dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or dam-
aged wheel immediately. Run the tool (with
guard) at no load for about a minute, holding
tool away from others. If wheel is flawed, it will
likely separate during this test.
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.
Damage to these parts could result in wheel
breakage.
7. Do not operate the tool without guards in
place. Check wheel guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the tool if
wheel guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the wheel guard
into the open position.
8. Hold the handle firmly.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
11. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.

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. Do not attempt to keep the trigger in the ON
position.
16. If the wheel stops during operation, makes an
odd noise or begins to vibrate, switch off the
tool immediately.
17. Turn off the tool and wait for the wheel to
stop before moving workpiece or changing
settings.
18. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it is extremely hot and could burn
your skin.
19. Store wheels in a dry location only.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: MISUSE or failure to follow
the safety rules stated in this instruction
manual may cause serious personal injury.
