This will only lead to premature wear and result
in poor cuts or a broken cutting-off wheel.
21. Workpieces are best cut when their angle in
relation to the cutting-off wheel is kept as small a
possible.
22. The number of cuts per cutting-off wheel and
their quality may vary considerably with the time
taken to make the cuts. Fast cuts may accelerate
wheel wear, but they also prevent discoloring of
the workpiece and the formation of burr. This
requires particular attention when cutting thin-
walled tubes. Do not reduce the cutting speed
toward the end of the cut, but cut right through to
the end with full power. This will help to prevent
the material from overheating and forming burr.
23. Always use the guard over cutting-off wheel.
24. Never use the machine in the vicinity of
combustible liquids or gases.
25. To avoid electric shocks, never use the machine
in damp or wet locations, and never expose it to
rain.
26. This electric tool was developed exclusively for
cutting ferrous metals. Do not try to cut wood,
brick or magnesium on this machine.
27. Do not stand in the cutting direction after a new
cutting-off wheel has been fitted. Allow the
machine to run for approximately one minute
before you begin with the cutting. If the cutting-
off wheel has an invisible fracture or defect, it will
burst in less than one minute.
28. Switch off the power supply before you carry out
any maintenance or adjustment work on the
machine.
29. Should any part of your machine be missing,
damaged or out of order in any way, or should
any electrical components fail to work correctly,
switch off the machine and pull the power plug
out of the socket-outlet. Replace the missing,
damaged or defective part before you carry on
with your work.
30. In the case of cutting-off wheels with straight-
sided flanges, be sure to observe the
recommend values for thickness and hole
diameter.
