- Hold the machine by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of machine "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
- Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and
your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
- Never lay the machine down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the machine out of your control.
- Do not run the machine while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
- Regularly clean the machine's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
- Do not operate the machine near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
- Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
- When using depressed centre grinding wheels, be sure to use only fiberglass-reinforced wheels.
- Never use Stone Cup type wheels with this machine. This machine is not designed for these types of wheels
and the use of such a product may result in serious personal injury.
- Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange (especially the installing surface) or the lock nut.
Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.
- Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
- Before using the machine on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that
could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced wheel.
- Use the specified surface of the wheel to perform the grinding.
- Do not leave the machine running. Operate the machine only when hand-held.
- Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
- Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and store
wheels with care.
- Do not use separate reducing bushings or adaptors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.
- Use only flanges specified for this machine.
- For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long
enough to accept the spindle length.
- Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
- Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the machine is switched off.
- If working place is extremely hot and humid, or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-circuit
breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.
- Do not use the tool on any materials containing asbestos.
- When use cut-off wheel, always work with the dust collecting wheel guard required by domestic
regulation.
- Cutting discs must not be subjected to any lateral pressure.
- Use only wheel types that are recommended for your machine and the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
- The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip.
- The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
- Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. Do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them
to shatter.
- Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
- Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable
for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
- Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
- Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the machine
directly at you.
- When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the machine and hold it
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut
