Wall Chaser
5
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
► Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
►
Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition 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.
► Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
► 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 oper-
ations diff erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Service
► Have your power tool serviced by a
qualifi ed repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Cut off machine safety warnings
► The guard provided with the tool must
be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so
the least amount of wheel is exposed
towards the operator. Position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel.
The guard helps to
protect operator from broken wheel frag-
ments and accidental contact with wheel.
► 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.
► 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 fl y apart.
► Wheels must be used only for recom-
mended applications. For example: do
not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
► Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct diameter for your se-
lected wheel. Proper wheel flanges sup-
port the wheel thus reducing the possibility
of wheel breakage.
► The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool. In-
correctly sized accessories cannot be ade-
quately guarded or controlled.
► The arbour size of wheels and flang-
es must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool. Wheels and flanges with ar-
bour 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.
► Do not use damaged wheels. Before
each use, inspect the wheels for chips
and cracks. If power tool or wheel is
dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged wheel. After inspect-
ing 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 nor-
mally break apart during this test time.
► Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hear-
ing protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments.
The eye protection
must be capable of stopping fl ying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of
fi ltrating particles generated by your oper-
ation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
► Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protec-
tive equipment.
Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fl y away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of op-
eration.
► Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
