▸
Do not use damaged or worn accessory
tools. Before every use, check the acces-
sory tool for cracks or splits. If a power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage. Never use a damaged acces-
sory tool. After inspecting and installing
an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power
tool at maximum speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
▸
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and work-
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 be capable of filtering
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
▸
Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from your workplace. Anyone entering
the workplace must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of work-
piece 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 could give the operator an electric
shock.
▸
Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, 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
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The rotating accessory tool may make contact
with the surface on which it is placed and could
cause you to lose control of the electric tool.
▸
Do not run the power tool while car-
rying it at your side.
Accidental contact with
the spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.
▸
Clean the ventilation slots of your power
tool at regular intervals.
▸
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite
these materials.
▸
Avoid blocking of the diamond disk or
excessive contact pressure. Do not make
excessively deep cuts. Overloading of the
diamond disk increases the pressure and the
susceptibility to tilting or blocking, and hence the
risk of kickback or grinding wheel breakage.
▸
Avoid the area in front of and behind the
rotating diamond disk.
If you move the dia-
mond disk away from yourself in the workpiece,
the electric tool with the rotating wheel can
suddenly fly towards you in the event of kickback.
▸
If the diamond disk jams or you inter-
rupt the work, switch off the device
and hold it steady until the wheel has
come to a standstill. Never try to pull the
running diamond disk out of the cut as
this could result in kickback. Identify and
remedy the cause of the jamming.
▸
Do not switch on the electric tool again
as long as it is in the workpiece. First
allow the diamond disk to reach its full
speed before carefully continuing the
cut.
Otherwise the wheel may snag, spring out
of the workpiece or kickback.
