that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Safety instrucions for cut - off machines
1) Cut - off machine safety warnings
a)Position yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating wheel .
The guard helps to
protect the operalor from broken wheel fragments
and accidental contact with wheel
b) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut -
off wheels for your power tool .
Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power tool , it
does not assure safe operation .
NOTE 1 The wording "bonded reinforced" or
"diamond "is used as applicable depending on the
designation of the tool .
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool .
Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and tly apart .
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications . For example : do not grind with
the side of a cut - off wheel .
Abrasive cut - off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding , side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter .
e)Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are
of correct diameter for your selected wheel
.
Proper wheel fianges support the wheel ihus
reducing the possibility of wneel breakage .
f)The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
ot your power tool .
lncorrecty sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlied .
g) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool .
Wheels and fianges with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting haraware of the power tool wiil
run out of balance , vibrate excessively and may
cause foss of control .
h) Do not use damaged wheels . Before each use
, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks . If
the power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged wheel . After
inspecting and installing the wheel , position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute .
Damaged wheels will normally break apart during
this test time .
i) Wear personal protective equipment .
Depending on application , use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses .
As appropriate , wear dust mask , hearing
protectors , gloves and shop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments .
The eye protection must be capable
of stopping tlying debris generated by various
operations . The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation . Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss .
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area . Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment .
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken wheel may
fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area
of operation .
k)Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory .
if you lose control , the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning wheel .
l)Regularly clean the power tool ' s air vents .
The
motor ' s fan can draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards .
m)Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials . Do not operate the power tool while
placed on a combustible surface such as
wood.
Sparks could ignite these materiais .
n)Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants .
Using water or other liquid coolants
may resuit in electrocution or shock .
NOTE 2 The above warning does not apply for
power tools specifically designed for use with a liquid
system.
2) Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel . Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which
in turn causes the uncontrolled
cutting unit
to be
forced upwards toward the operator .
For example , if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
