c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
d)
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.
e)
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 acci-
dents 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.
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.
Wall chaser safety
warnings
a) 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.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or dia-
mond cut-off wheels for your power
tool. Just because an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
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 fly apart.
d)
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.
e)
Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct diameter for your
selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the pos-
sibility of wheel breakage.
g) The outside diameter and the thick-
ness of your accessory must be within
the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
h)
The arbour size of wheels and flanges
must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool.
Wheels and flanges with ar -
bour holes that do not match the mount-
ing hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
i) 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
normally break apart during this test time.
j)
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glass-
es. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and shop
apron capable of stopping small abra-
sive or workpiece fragments.
The eye
protection must be capable of stopping
flying debris generated by various opera -
tions. 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.
k)
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 wheel may fly away and
