Unsharpened or improperly set wheels produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, wheel binding and KICKBACK. Wheel depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If wheel adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding and KICKBACK. Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK. 11. Use only diamond wheels.

Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged wheel immediately. 13. Use only flanges specified for this tool. 14. Be careful not to damage the spindle, flanges (especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage. 15. Hold the tool firmly. 16. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 17. Wait until the wheel attains full speed before cutting. 18. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal. 19. Never attempt to cut with the tool held upside down in a vise. This can lead to serious accidents, because it is extremely dangerous. 20. Do not stop the wheel by lateral pressure on the disc. 21. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
