WALL CHASER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. The guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The
guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
2. Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your
power tool. Just because an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
3. The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
4. Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
5. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are
of correct diameter for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus
reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
6. The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.

7. The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
8. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power
tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting and
installing the wheel, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel and run the power tool at maximum no
load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will

normally break apart during this test time.
9. Wear
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety
appropriate,
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of
stopping
fragments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be

capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
10. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken wheel
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
11. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
12. Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning wheel.
13. Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
14. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
15. Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
16. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
