a) 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.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended 
for a larger power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) 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.
j) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, 
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing 
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or 
workpiece 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.
k) 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.
l) 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.
m) 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. 
n) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop.
