Cut Off Saw MPBCO355 User Manual
5
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR CUT OFF SAW
• Keep the lower wheel guard attached and working
properly and the guard in the maximum
wheel
covering
position over the workpiece in operation. Keep your body
positioned to either side of the wheel,
but not in line with the
wheel. It is important to position your body and the guard to
minimize body
exposure from the possible fragments of a burst
wheel.
• Abrasive Cut Off Wheels must have a maximum safe
operating speed greater than the “no load RPM”
marked on
the tool’s nameplate. Wheels running over the rated speed can
fly apart and cause injury.
• Keep hands away from cutting area and wheel. NEVER
place your hand behind the wheel. Do not attempt
to
remove cut material when wheel is moving. Contact with the
spinning wheel may cause serious personal
injury.
• Wear proper apparel while using an abrasive cut off
machine. Face shield or at least safety goggles, dust
mask,
leather gloves and shop apron capable of stopping small wheel
or workpiece fragments.
• Use only Type 1 abrasive cut off wheels with the correct
size arbor hole. Never use damaged or incorrect
wheel
flanges or round nut. Other types of wheels are not intended to
apply load on periphery and may
shatter. Wheels with arbor
holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the tool will
run
eccentrically, vibrate excessively and will cause loss of
control.
• Do not use a cut off wheel that is larger than the maximum
recommended size for your tool, or worn
down damaged
wheels from larger abrasive cut off machines. Wheels
intended for larger tools are not
suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool, these wheels may easily burst and the fragments
strike you or bystanders.
• Before each use inspect the cut off wheel for chips and
cracks. Do not use a wheel that may be damaged.
Install a
new wheel if tool was dropped. When installing a new wheel
carefully handle individual cut off wheels
to avoid chipping
or cracking. Run the tool at no load for one
minute, holding
the tool’s cutting head down and in the direction away from
people. Wheels with flaws
will normally break apart during
this time. Fragments from a wheel that bursts during operation
will fly
away at great velocity possibly striking you or bystanders.
• Do not grind on the side of Type 1 abrasive cut off wheels.
Side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
• Always use the vise to clamp the work and properly
support the over-hanging portion or the workpiece
level with
the base of the machine. Proper support of workpiece is
important to keep the cut off and
over-hanging pieces from
falling and striking the operator.
• Do not “jam” the abrasive wheel into the work or apply
excessive pressure while using this machine.
Avoid
bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working
corners, sharp edges etc. If the wheel is
damaged due to
misuse it may develop cracks and eventually burst or shatter
without warning.
• Keep the depth stop properly adjusted. If the depth stop is
improperly set it may cause the tool to flip
over when releasing
the cutting head too quickly or if the depth is set too deep the
wheel may cut into the
surface below the base.
• This machine is not
intended to be used with Wet Diamond
Wheels. Using water or other liquid coolants
with this machine
may result in electrocution or shock. Use of Dry Diamond
Wheels is acceptable.
• Do not use this tool with “Woodcarving” blade or standard
wood cutting toothed blades. These blades
