toothed saw blade . Such blades create frequent kick-

Safety warnings specific for Grinding
and Abrasive Cutting-Off operations
• Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the se-
lected wheel . Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe .
• The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels
must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip . An
improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected .
• The guard must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount
of wheel is exposed towards the operator . The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments,
accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ig-
nite clothing .
• Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-
tions . For example: do not grind with the side of the
cut-off wheel . Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter .
• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of cor-
rect size and shape for your selected wheel . Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage . Flanges for cut-off wheels
may be different from grinding wheel flanges .
• Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger
power tools . Wheels intended for larger power tools are
not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst .
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive
cutting off operations
• Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-
sure . Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut .
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and sus-
ceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage .
• Do not position your body in line with and behind the
rotating wheel . When the wheel, at the point of opera-
tion, is moving away from your body, the possible kick-
back may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you .
• When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the pow-
er tool motionless 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 binding .
• 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 .
• Support panels or any oversized workpiece to mini-
mize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback . Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own weight . Sup-
ports must be placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both
sides of the wheel .
• Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into exist-
ing walls or other blind areas . The protruding wheel may
cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback .
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations
• Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper .
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when select-
ing sanding paper . Larger sanding paper extending be-
yond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback .
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing
operations
• Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even
during ordinary operation . Do not overstress the wires
by applying excessive load to the brush . The wire bris-
tles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin .
• If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing,
do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush
with the guard . Wire wheel or brush may expand in di-
ameter due to work load and centrifugal forces .
Additional safety warnings
• Wear safety goggles .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead to ex-
plosion . Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock .
• Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off position
when the power supply is interrupted, e . g ., in case of
a power failure or when the mains plug is pulled . This
prevents uncontrolled restarting .
• Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before they
have cooled down . The discs can become very hot while
working .
• Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand .
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Make sure that the machine is not live when carry-
ing out maintenance work on the motor .
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,
preferably after each use . Keep the ventilation slots free
from dust and dirt .If the dirt does not come off use a soft
cloth moistened with soapy water . Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc . These sol-
vents may damage the plastic parts .
• The machine requires no additional lubrication .
• Should a fault occur, e .g . after wear of a part, please con-
tact your local BORT GLOBAL LIMITED dealer .
