•
Change insert tools carefully and only use
the mounting tools provided, if they are in
perfect condition. Disconnect the mains
plug before changing the insert tool.
Use of the mounting tool provided prevents
damage to the power tool and insert tool.
•
Always use undamaged installation material
of the correct size for the diamond dry-
cutting disc chosen by you.
Suitable installation material supports the
diamond dry-cutting disc and therefore reduces
the risk of diamond dry-cutting disc breakage.
•
The outer diameter and thickness of
the insert tool must correspond to the
dimensions of your power tool.
Incorrectly dimensioned insert tools cannot be
adequately shielded or controlled.
•
Diamond dry-cutting discs, installation
material (flanges) and other accessories
must fit precisely on the spindle of your
power tool.
Insert tools which do not fit precisely on the
spindle of the power tool rotate irregularly,
vibrate severely and can result in loss of control.
•
Never use damaged insert tools. Before
each use, check insert tools for splinters
and cracks. If the power tool or insert tool
is dropped or falls, check whether it is
damaged, or use an undamaged insert tool.
If you have checked and inserted the insert
tool, keep yourself and other people nearby
outside the plane of the rotating insert tool
and let the power tool run at maximum speed
for one minute.
Most damaged insert tools break during this test
period.
•
After fitting the diamond dry-cutting discs,
before switching on, check that the diamond
dry-cutting discs are fitted correctly and can
rotate freely. Ensure that the diamond dry-
cutting discs do not touch the protective
hood or other parts.
•
Do not expose power tools to extreme heat
or cold.
Mechanical and electrical damage can occur
during extreme heat and/or cold.
•
Allow the insert tools, tool holders and other
parts cool in the immediate vicinity of the
work area after use.
The equipment can be very hot after use. Do not
touch or grip the parts. Risk of injury.
•
Additional signs or other, non BAIER-
specific parts may not be screwed or
riveted onto the motor, handle, gearbox or
protective housing.
This could damage the power tool and cause
malfunctions to occur.
•
Avoid unnecessary noise emissions.
•
Note and follow the safety and work
instructions for the accessories used.
Kickback and corresponding safety
instructions
Kickback is the sudden reaction caused by a
rotating insert tool, such as the diamond dry-
cutting disc, that gets caught or is blocked.
Entanglement or blocking results in the abrupt
stopping of the rotating insert tool. This causes
an uncontrolled power tool to be accelerated
against the direction of rotation of the insert tool
at the blocking point.
For example, if a diamond dry-cutting disc gets
stuck in the workpiece or becomes blocked,
the edge of the diamond dry-cutting disc that is
plunged in the workpiece can get caught and
therefore break out the diamond dry-cutting disc
or cause kickback. The diamond dry-cutting disc
then moves towards or away from the person
using the tool, depending on the rotational
direction of the disc at the blocking point. In this
case diamond dry-cutting discs can also break.
Kickback is the consequence of incorrect or
faulty use of the power tool. It can be prevented
by taking suitable precautions, as described in
the following.
•
When switching on and while working with
the power tool, hold onto it tightly at both
handles and place your body and arms
in a position in which they can absorb
the kickback forces or reaction torque on
starting up. Always put the machine down
firmly on both rollers.
The person using the tool can control the
kickback and reaction forces by taking suitable
precautions.
•
Avoid blocking of the diamond dry-cutting
disc caused by pressing too hard or feeding
too fast. Do not make any excessively deep
cuts.
Overloading the diamond dry-cutting disc
increases the stresses on it and its susceptibility
to canting or blocking and therefore the
possibility of kickback, or causes the abrasive
product (disc) to break.
•
Never place your hand near rotating insert
tools.
The insert tool can move across your hand
during kickback.
•
Keep your body clear of the area in which
the power tool would move in the event of
kickback.
The kickback drives the power tool in the
opposite direction to the movement of the
diamond dry-cutting disc at the blocking point.
