Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly
away and cause injury beyond immediate area
of operation.
Hold power tool 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 the
power tool "live" and shock the operator.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control of the power tool, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool 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 power tool'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 power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not jam the diamond wheel or apply exces-
sive pressure. Do not attempt to make an exces-
sive depth of cut. Overstressing the diamond
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 front and behind
the rotating diamond wheel. When moving the
diamond wheel in the work piece away from
yourself, the possible kickback may propel the
power tool with the spinning wheel directly at
you.
If the diamond wheel should become jammed or
when interrupting work, switch the power tool
off and hold it motionless until the wheel has
come to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove a still running diamond wheel from the
cut, otherwise kickback may occur. Determine
and correct the cause for the jamming.
Do not switch the power tool on again as long
as the wheel is still in the work piece. Allow the
diamond wheel to reach its full speed first
before carefully continuing with the cut. Other-
wise the wheel can bind, be forced out of the
work piece or cause kickback.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut"
into existing walls or other blind areas. The pro-
truding diamond wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause
kickback.
Make sure that the application tools are
mounted in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions. The mounted application tools must
be able to rotate freely. Incorrectly mounted
application tools can become loose during oper-
ation and be thrown from the machine.
Handle diamond wheels carefully and store
them according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Damaged diamond wheels can develop
cracks and burst during operation.
Do not machine any material containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is cancerogenic.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or
water conduits; check the working area with a
metal detector, for example, before commencing
work.
Use a dust extraction system, blow out ventila-
tion slots frequently and connect a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) on the line side. When working
metal under extreme operating conditions, it is
possible for conductive dust to settle in the interior
of the power tool. The total insulation of the
power tool can be impaired.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs
onto the power tool. If the insulation is damaged,
protection against an electric shock will be inef-
fective. Adhesive labels are recommended.
Always work using the auxiliary handle. The
auxiliary handle ensures reliable guidance of the
power tool.
Check the diamond wheel before using. Use
only undamaged diamond wheels.
The mounted diamond wheel must be able to
rotate freely. Carry out a test run for at least 30
seconds with the new diamond wheel. Use only
true-running diamond wheels.
Before putting into operation, check the mains
connection and the mains plug for damage.
Use only original Würth parts and accessories.
