Additional Safety Warnings specific for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility 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 operation, is moving
away from your body, the possible
kickback 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 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.
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 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.
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 instructions
The mains voltage and the voltage
specifications on the rating plate must
correspond.
Do not press the spindle lock until the
grinding tool stops.
Noise and vibration
NOTE
Values for the A-weighted sound pressure
level and for the total vibration values can
be found in the “Technical specifications”
table.
The noise and vibration values have been
determined in accordance with EN 60745.
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new
power tools. Daily use causes the noise and
vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60745 and may be used to compare
one tool with another. It may be used for
a preliminary assessment of exposure. The
declared vibration emission level represents
the main applications of the tool. However if
the tool is used for different applications,
with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may
differ. This may significantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or
poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly decrease
the exposure level over the total working
period.
Identify additional safety measures to
protect the operator from the effects of
vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm,
organisation of work patterns.
CAUTION!
Wear ear protection at a sound pressure
above 85 dB(A).
