can shatter during use and guard helps to reduce

Unplug tool and place it upside down allowing easy

premature breakage.
Operation with abrasive cut-off wheel
(optional accessory)
WARNING:
• When using an abrasive cut-off wheel, be sure to
use only the special wheel guard designed for use
with cut-off wheels.
• NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
• Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases
the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding
of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback, wheel breakage and overheating of the
motor may occur.
• Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter
into the cut moving the tool forward over the
workpiece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is started in the
workpiece.
• During cutting operations, never change the angle
of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off
wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack
and break, causing serious personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
