flanges that are of correct size 

and shape for your selected disc. 

Proper disc flanges support the 

disc thus reducing the possibility 

of disc breakage. Flanges for cut-

off discs may be different from 

grinding disc flanges.

e) Do not use worn down discs 

from larger power tools. Disc 

intended for larger power tools 

are not suitable for the higher 

speed of a smaller tool and may 

burst.

Additional safety instructions 

for cutting-off operations

Additional safety warnings 

specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off 

Operations:

a) Do not “jam” the cut-off disc 

or apply excessive pressure. Do 

not attempt to make an excessive 

depth of cut. Overstressing 

the disc increases the loading 

and susceptibility to twisting or 

binding of the disc in the cut and 

the possibility of kickback or disc 

breakage.

b) Do not position your body in 

line with and behind the rotating 

disc. When the disc, at the point 

of operation, is moving away from 

your body, the possible kickback 

may propel the spinning disc and 

the power tool directly at you.

c) when disc is binding or when 

interrupting a cut for any reason, 

switch off the power tool and hold 

the power tool motionless until the 

disc comes to a complete stop. 

Never attempt to remove the cut-

off disc from the cut while the disc 

is in motion otherwise kickback 

may occur. Investigate and take 

corrective action to eliminate the 

cause of disc binding.

d) Do not restart the cutting 

operation in the workpiece. Let 

the disc reach full speed and 

carefully reenter the cut. The disc 

may bind, walk up or kickback if 

the power tool is restarted in the 

workpiece.

e) support panels or any oversized 

workpiece to minimize the risk of 

disc 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 

edge of the workpiece on both 

sides of the disc.

f) use extra caution when making 

a “pocket cut” into existing 

walls or other blind areas. The 

protruding disc may cut gas or 

water pipes, electrical wiring or 

objects that can cause kickback.
