f) Before sawing, firmly tighten the
adjustments of the cutting depth and
cutting angle. If the settings adjust
themselves during sawing, the saw blade may
become clamped and a kickback will occur.
g) be especially careful, if you are making a
plunge cut in an existing wall or other non-
visible area. The immersed saw blade can
jam when sawing into hidden objects and
cause a kickback.
2.4 SAFETy InSTruCTIonS For ThIS mInI
CIrCulAr SAw
a) Check before each use that the safety
guard closes correctly. do not use the saw
if the lower safety guard does not move
freely and does not close immediately.
never clamp or secure the lower safety
guard in the open position.
If the saw should accidentally fall to the
ground, the lower safety guard may become
bent. Open the safety guard with the retraction
lever and ensure that it moves freely. Check
that it does not interfere with the saw blade or
other components, at any cutting angle or
cutting depth.
b) Check the condition and operation of the
spring for the lower safety guard. do not
use the equipment if the lower safety guard
and spring do not work perfectly. Damaged
parts, adhesive deposits or accumulations of
shavings retard the operation of the lower
safety guard.
c) when making a plunge cut which is not at
right angles, make sure that the saw's
guide plate can not move laterally. Lateral
movements can cause the saw blade to jam
and hence result in kickback.
d) do not put down the saw on the workbench
or floor, without the lower safety guard
covering the saw blade.
When slowing down after use, an unprotected
saw blade will move the saw in the direction
opposite to the cutting direction and will saw
whatever lies in its path. Pay attention,
therefore, to the deceleration time of the saw.
2.5 SAFETy InSTruCTIonS For CuT oFF
grIndIng APPlICATIonS
Safety instructions for cut off grinders
a) The safety guard for the electric power tool
must be securely attached and adjusted so
that maximum safety is attained, i.e. the
smallest possible portion of the grinding
wheel shows openly to the operator. make
sure that you and any other nearby
individuals are not in the plane of the rotating
grinding disc. The safety guard is intended to
protect the operator from fragments and from
accidental contact with the grinding wheel.
b) use only diamond cutting discs for your
electric power tool.
The fact that you can
attach an accessory to your electric power tool,
does not guarantee that it is safe to use.
c) The permissible rotary speed of the tool
insert must be at least as high as the
quoted maximum rotary speed of the
electric power tool. Accessories which are
rotated faster than their permissible speed may
break or fly off.
d) grinding wheels may only be used for their
recommended types of application, e.g.
never grind with the side face of a cutting
wheel. Cutting wheels only remove material
using the edge of the disc. Application of lateral
forces to these grinding wheels can cause
them to break.
e) Always use an undamaged clamping flange
of the correct size and shape for your
selected grinding disc. Suitable flanges
support the grinding disc and so reduce the
danger of it breaking.
f) do not use worn out grinding discs from
larger electric power tools. Grinding discs
from larger electric power tools are not suitable
for the higher rotary speeds of small electric
power tools and can break during use.
g) The outer diameter and thickness of tool
inserts must correspond with the given
characteristics of your electric power tool.
Wrongly-sized tool inserts cannot be
sufficiently shielded or controlled.
h) Grinding discs and flanges must fit exactly
on the grinding spindle of your electric
power tool.
Tool inserts, which do not fit
exactly to the grinding spindle of the electric
power tool, will rotate unevenly and vibrate
strongly and may lead to loss of control.
