WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury in ap-
plications that produce a consider-
able amount of dust, use an OSHA compliant dust
extraction solution in accordance with the solu-
tion’s operating instructions.
Always keep dust extractor hose out of the path
of cut and away from the cut off wheel. Ensure
the dust extractor hose does not interfere with
the operator or workpiece.
When dust extraction is not in use, always re-
place the cap to avoid dust and debris from being
directed up and toward the operator.

Metallic Materials
Masonry Materials
When cutting metals, use an aluminum oxide
abrasive cut off wheel with at least 3.2mm (1/8")
thickness. Always wear proper safety equipment.
Protect everyone in the area from sparks.
When cutting masonry materials, use dry diamond
wheels or silicone carbide abrasive cut off wheel
with at least 3.2mm (1/8") thickness. Always wear
proper safety equipment, including a dust mask.
Inspect the cut off wheel for damage, and
replace if necessary. Place the wheel onto the
spindle. Use only 76mm (3") cut off wheels with
a 10mm (3/8") arbor.
NOTE: Make repeated passes at depths of less
than 12mm (1/2") to achieve the desired depth.
Cutting at a depth of more than 12mm (1/2") can
damage the wheel.
