 Always use undamaged flanges of the correct size and shape
for your cutting disc. The correct flanges support the disc and
reduce the risk of a disc fracture. Flanges for cutting discs can
differ from those for grinding discs.
 Do not use worn-down discs from larger electric tools, these
are not intended for the fast speeds of smaller electric tools
and may fracture.
 Avoid blocking the disc and do not use excessive pressure.
Do not attempt excessively deep cuts. Excessive loads on the
cutting disc increase the stress and make it more prone to
jamming or blocking and increase the risk of kickback of
fracture.
 Avoid the area directly in front or behind the spinning discs. If
the cutting part of the disc is moving away from you, the
electric tool with the spinning disc can be thrown back at you
in case of a kickback.
 If the disc becomes stuck or locked in the work piece or you
intend to interrupt your work, turn off the electric tool and hold
it tightly until the disc has come to a complete standstill. Never
attempt to lift the spinning disc out of the cut, this may cause
kickback. Verify and remove the cause for the stoppage.
 Do not turn on the electric tool while the disc is in the work
piece. Allow the disc to reach full speed before carefully
resuming the cut. Otherwise the disc may jam, jump out of the
cut or kick back.
 Support sheets or large work pieces to reduce the risk of a
kickback caused by the disc being wedged in the work piece.
Larger work pieces may deform under their own weight. The
work piece must be supported on both sides, on the edges as
well as close to the cut.
