Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter -
mined according to EN62841-3-10:
Model M2402
Vibration emission (a
h
) : 4.5 m/s
2
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
2
Model M2403
Vibration emission (a
h
) : 3.5 m/s
2
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
2
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared val -
ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cut-off machine safety warnings
1. Position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard helps
to protect the operator from broken wheel frag -
ments and accidental contact with wheel.
2. Use only bonded reinforced cut-off wheels for
your power tool. Just because an accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
3.
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 fly apart.
4. 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.
5. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are
of correct diameter for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus
reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
6. The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
7. The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
8. 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.
9. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, 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 flying
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 hear -
ing loss.
10.
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.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning wheel.
12. 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.
13. 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 materials.
