measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ABRASIVE
CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS
CUT-OFF MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS:
a) The guard provided with the tool must
be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so
the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. Position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect
operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental
contact with wheel.
b) Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your
power tool. Just because an accessory can be
16
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break and
fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct diameter for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels
from larger power tools. Wheels intended for a
larger power tool are not suitable for the higher speed
of a smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool.
lncorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges
must properly fit the spindle of the power
tool. Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do
not match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
i)
Do not use damaged wheels. Before
each use, inspect the wheels for chips
and cracks. If power tool or wheel is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged wheel. After inspecting and
installing the wheel, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating wheel and run the power tool at
maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels will normally break apart during this
test time.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator must
