• 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.
During cutting operations, never change the angle of the

grinding) will cause the wheel to crack and break,
causing serious personal injury.
