c) When wheel is binding 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 binding.
d) 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.
e) 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 cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f)
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.
Additional safety warnings:
a) Check that the maximum speed indicated on the grinding disc corresponds to the maximum speed of the
machine. The speed of the machine must not exceed the value on the grinding disc.
b) Make sure that the dimensions of the grinding disc correspond to the specifications of the machine.
c) Make sure that the grinding disc has been mounted and fastened properly. Do not use reducing rings or
adapters to make the grinding disc fit properly.
d) Do not use the machine for grinding workpieces with a maximum thickness exceeding the maximum grinding
depth of the grinding disc.
e) Do not use grinding discs for deburring.
f) When grinding discs have to be mounted on the thread of the spindle, make sure that the spindle has
sufficient thread. Make sure that the spindle is sufficiently protected and does not touch the grinding surface.
g) Before use, inspect the grinding disc for any damage. Do not use grinding discs which are cracked, ripped or
otherwise damaged.
h) Before use, let the machine run idle for 30 seconds.
i)
Immediately switch off the machine in case of abnormal vibrations or occurrence of another defect. Carefully
inspect the machine and grinding disc before switching the machine on again.
j) Make sure that sparks do not put people into danger or that they contact highly flammable substances.
k) Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently supported or clamped. Keep your hands away from the surface to
be cut.
l) Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. Also use a helmet when appropriate.
m) Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
n) Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with the bonded abrasive product and when they are
required.
o) The tool must be always used with the guard. Never use the tool without the guard.
p) For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to
accept the spindle length.
q) Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions. If it should become
necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the mains supply (use non-metallic objects) and avoid
damaging internal parts.
