or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into

the spinning wheel.

m) Never lay the power tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop. The

spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull

the power tool out of your control.

n) 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.

o) 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.

p) Do not operate the power tool near

flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these

materials.

q) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may

result in electrocution or shock.

4.2 Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or

snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging

causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in

turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced

in the direction opposite of the wheel’s rotation at

the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or

pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel

that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the

surface of the material causing the wheel to climb

out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or

away from the operator, depending on direction of

the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.

Abrasive wheels may also break under these

conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or

incorrect operating procedures or conditions and

can be avoided by taking proper precautions as

given below.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and

position your body and arm to allow you to

resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary

handle, if provided, for maximum control over

kickback or torque reaction during start-up.

The operator can control torque reactions or

kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. Accessory may kickback over your

hand.

c) Do not position your body in line with the

rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in

direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the

point of snagging.

d) Use special care when working corners,

sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging

the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing

have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and

cause loss of control or kickback.

e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving

blade, segmented diamond wheel with a

peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed

saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback

and loss of control.

f) Do not “jam” the 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.

g) When wheel is binding or when interrupting

a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool

and hold the power tool motionless until the

wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt

to remove the wheel from the cut while the

wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may

occur. Investigate and take corrective action to

eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

h) Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and

carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,

walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in

the workpiece.

i) Support panels or any oversized workpiece

to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and

kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their

own weight. Supports must be placed under the

workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of

the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

j) Use extra caution when making a "pocket

cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,

electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

4.3 Additional Safety Instructions:

WARNING – Always wear protective

goggles.

Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free

of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.

check using a metal detector).

Always use the additional side handle (3) provided

when working with the wall chaser.

The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against

slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must

be sufficiently supported.

The diamond cut-off wheels must fit without play in

relation to the support flange. Do not use adapters

or reducers.

Diamond cut-off wheels must be stored and

handled with care in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions.

Ensure that the diamond cut-off wheels are installed

in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Never switch on the machine without the guard

installed.

Ensure the sparks emitted during use do not pose

any risk,

for example, to the user or other personnel and are

not able to ignite inflammable substances. Areas at

risk must be protected with flame-resistant covers.

Always keep a fire extinguisher on hand when

working in areas prone to fire risk.
