7. 

Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool 
only when hand-held.

8. 

Do not touch the workpiece immediately after 
operation; it may be extremely hot and could 
burn your skin.

9. 

Do not touch accessories immediately after 
operation; it may be extremely hot and could 
burn your skin.

10. 

Observe the instructions of the manufacturer 
for correct mounting and use of wheels and 
accessories. 

Incorrect mounting and use may 

result in personal injury.

11. 

Handle and store wheels with care.

12. 

Do not use separate reducing bushings or 
adaptors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.

13. 

Use only flanges specified for this tool.

14. 

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.

15. 

Check that the workpiece is properly 
supported.

16. 

Pay attention that the wheel continues to 

rotate after the tool is switched off.

17. 

If working place is extremely hot and humid, 
or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a 
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure opera-
tor safety.

18. 

Do not use the tool on any materials contain-
ing asbestos.

19. 

When use cut-off wheel, always work with 

the dust collecting wheel guard if required by 
domestic regulation.

20. 

Cutting discs must not be subjected to any 
lateral pressure.

21. 

Do not use cloth work gloves during operation.

 

Fibers from cloth gloves may enter the tool, which 

causes tool breakage.

22. 

Before operation, make sure that there is no 
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe 
or gas pipe in the workpiece. 

Otherwise, it may 

cause an electric shock, electrical leakage or gas 
leak.

23. 

If a blotter is attached to the wheel, do not 
remove it. The diameter of the blotter must be 

larger than the lock nut, outer flange, and inner 

flange.

24. 

Before installing a grinding wheel, always 
check that the blotter part does not have any 
abnormalities such as chips or cracks.

25. 

Tighten the lock nut properly.

 Overtightening 

the wheel can cause breakage and insufficient 

tightening can cause fluttering.
