of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or snapping of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback ort wheel breakage.
d )
Do not position your hand in line with or behind
a rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible
kickback may propel the wheel and the power tool directly
at you.
e )
When wheel is pinched, snagged or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the
power tool and hold the power 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 pinching or snagging.
f )
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.
g )
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 the cut and the edge of the workpiece on both sides of
the wheel.
h )
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.
WARNING:
We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.

tool is double insulated in accordance
with EN60745; therefore no earth wire is required.
WARNING:
127V units have to be operated via a fail-safe
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the
primary and secondary winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
