parts of the power tool "live" and could give the

operator an electric shock.

l) Position the cord clear of the spinning

accessory. If you lose control of the tool, the cord

may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may

be pulled into the spinning accessory.

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 carry the power tool while it is

running. Your clothing could become caught

accidentally in the rotating cutting accessory, and

this accessory could then drill into your body.

o) Regularly clean the ventilation slots on your

power tool. 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

WARNING – Always wear protective

goggles.

Kickback is the sudden response to an abrasive

wheel that is jamming while rotating. Jamming

causes the rotating accessory to stop abruptly,

which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to

be forced in the direction opposite to the

accessory’s rotation at the point of jamming.

For example, if an abrasive wheel jams in the

workpiece, the edge of the wheel entering into the

workpiece can snag, thus causing either kickback

or the wheel to break off. 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 additional

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 either before or

behind the rotating wheel. Kickback will propel

the tool in the 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 use a chainsaw blade, toothed saw

blade or segmented diamond disc with slots

wider than 10 mm. Such blades create frequent

kickback and loss of control.

f) Do not “jam” the cut-off 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 jamming of the wheel in the cut and the possibility

of kickback or wheel breakage.

g) If the wheel gets jammed or you interrupt

operation for any reason, switch off the power

tool and hold the power tool still until the wheel

comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to

remove the cut-off 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 jamming.

h) Do not restart the tool while in the workpiece.

Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully

reenter 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

Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free

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

a metal detector).

Always use the additional side handle provided

when working with the wall chaser (9).

The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against

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

be sufficiently supported.

The diamond cutting blades must fit without play in

relation to the support flange. Do not use adapters

or reducers.

Diamond cutting blades must be stored and

handled with care in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions.

Ensure that the diamond cutting blades are installed

in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Never switch on the machine without the protective

cover installed.

Ensure that sparks produced during work do not

constitute a risk to the user or other personnel and

are not able to ignite inflammable substances.

Endangered areas must be protected with flame-

resistant covers. Make sure that fire-risk areas are

always provided with suitable fire extinguishers.
