Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can
burn or explode.
Never leave the power tool before It has come to a
complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running
can cause injuries.
Do not use the power tool with a damaged cord. Do
not touch the damaged cord and pull the plug from
the outlet when the cord Is damaged while working.
Damaged cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
Connect power tools that are used in the open via a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries
could occur when the power tool tips over or when
accidentally coming into contact with the diamond blade.
Use the power tool only for dry cutting. Water
penetrating into a power tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.
Keep hands away from the cutting area while the
machine is running. Danger of injury when coming
into contact with the diamond blade.
Never remove cutting remainders, metal chips, etc.
from the cutting area while the machine is running.
Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first
and then switch the machine off.
Guide the diamond blade against the workpiece
only when the machine is switched on. Otherwise,
there is danger of kickback, when the diamond blade
becomes wedged in the workpiece. Operate the power tool
only when the work area to the workpiece is clear of any
adjusting tools, metal chips, etc. Small pieces of metal
or other objects that come in contact with the rotating
diamond blade can strike the operator with high speed.
Always firmly clamp the workpiece. Do not cut
workpieces that are too small to clamp. Otherwise,
the clearance of your hand to the rotating diamond blade
is too small.
Pay attention that persons are not put In danger
by sparking. Remove any combustible materials in
the vicinity. Sparks develop when cutting metal.
Use the cut off grinder only for cutting materials
mentioned under "Intended Use". Otherwise, the
cut off grinder can be subject to overload.
Do not use damaged, out-of-center or vibrating
diamond blades. Damaged diamond blades cause
increased friction, binding of the diamond blade and
kickback.

Always use diamond blades with correct size and
shape of arbor holes. Diamond blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the cut off grinder will
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
Do not touch the diamond blade after working
before it has cooled. The diamond blade becomes
very hot while working.
Make sure that the blade guard operates properly
and can move freely. Never clamp the blade guard
in place while retracted.
