loading and susceptibility to twisting or
snagging of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your hand in line with and
behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away
from your hand, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
When wheel is pinched, snagged or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power 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 pinching or
snagging.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels
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

or any oversized
edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
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.
▶ Safety warnings specific for
wire brushing operations:
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinary operation.
Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing
and/or skin.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed
for at least one minute before using them.
During this time no one is to stand in front
or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or
wires will be discharged during the run-in
time.
Direct the discharge of the spinning wire
brush away from you. Small particles and
tiny wire fragments may be discharged at
high velocity during the use of these
brushes and may become imbedded in your
skin.
