1.6.8. Never remove cutting remainders, metal chips, etc. from the cutting area
while the machine is running. Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral position
first and then switch the machine off.
1.6.9. Guide the cutting disc against the work piece only when the machine is
switched on. Otherwise, there is danger of kickback, when the cutting disc becomes
wedged in the work piece.
1.6.10. Operate the power tool only when the work area to the work piece is clear of
any adjusting tools, metal chips, etc. Small pieces of metal or other objects that come in
contact with the rotating cutting disc can strike the operator with high speed.
1.6.11. Always firmly clamp the work piece. Do not cut work pieces that are too small
to clamp. Otherwise, the clearance of your hand to the rotating cutting disc is too small.
1.6.12. If the cutting disc becomes jammed, switch the machine off and wait until the
cutting disc comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove a still running cutting
disc from the cut, otherwise there is danger of kickback. Determine and correct the
cause for the jamming.
1.6.13. After switching off, do not stop the cutting disc by applying lateral pressure to
it. The cutting disc can become damaged, break or lead to kickback.
1.6.14. Do not force the cutting disc into the work piece and do not apply too much
pressure when using the power tool. Particularly avoid jamming or wedging the cutting
disc when working corners or sharp edges. When the cutting disc is damaged due to
abuse, cracks can form that can lead to breakage without prior warning.
1.6.15. Wear a work apron. Pay attention that other persons are not put at risk from
sparking. Remove flammable materials in close vicinity. Sparking occurs when cutting
metal.
1.6.16. Use the cut off grinder only for cutting materials mentioned under “Intended
Use”. Otherwise, the cut off grinder can be subject to overload.
1.6.17. Do not use damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating cutting discs. Damaged cutting
discs cause increased friction, binding of the cutting disc and kickback.
1.6.18. Always use cutting discs with correct size and shape (diamond versus round)
of arbor holes. Cutting discs that do not match the mounting hardware of the cut off
grinder will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
1.6.19. Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
1.6.20. Observe the operating instructions of the cut-off wheel manufacturer for
assembly and use of the cut-off wheel. Cut-off wheels that do not fit can lead to injury
as well as to jamming, breaking or kickback.
1.6.21. Do not touch the cutting disc after working before it has cooled. The cutting
disc becomes very hot while working.
1.6.22. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice
is held more secure than by hand.
1.6.23. Never leave the machine before it has come to a complete stop. Cutting tools
that are still running can cause injuries.
1.6.24. Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable
and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
1.6.25. Inspect the cable periodically and have a damaged cable repaired by an after-
sales service centre for RAIDER power tools. Replace a damaged extension cable. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2. Functional Description. Intended Use.
The machine is intended for stationary use with cutting discs to perform lengthways
and crossways straight cuts or mitre cuts to 45° in metal materials without the use of
water.
