b) Do not position your body in line with and be-
hind the rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the
point of operation, is moving away from your body,
the possible kickback may propel the spinning
wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the power tool motionless until the
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never at-
tempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut
while the wheel is in motion otherwise kick-
back may occur.
Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart work directly on the work piece
again. Allow the disc to reach maximum speed
and contact the work piece carefully. The disc
may hang, abruptly lift, or move backwards if the
unit is restarted under load.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick-
back. Large workpieces tend to sag under their
own weight.
Supports must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut”
into existing walls or other blind areas. The pro-
truding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Opera -
tions:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause snag-
ging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard.
Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.
Additional Safety Warnings
▪
Prior to operation use suitable detectors to de-
termine if utility lines are hidden in the work area
or call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause electric shock.
▪ Before removing the battery release the ON/OFF
switch and place it in OFF position.
This prevents
uncontrolled startup of the machine upon inserting the
battery and avoids activation of the built-in non-self
starting safety (NVR).
▪ When working stone, use dust extraction. The
vacuum cleaner must be approved for the extrac-
tion of stone dust.
Using this equipment reduces
dust-related hazards.
▪ While operating the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance.
The power tool is guided more securely with both
hands.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work when-
ever possible.
▪ Keep work area clean. Blends of materials are par-
ticularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or
explode.
▪ Always use correct REDSTONE battery pack (the
one supplied with tool or a replacement pack ex-
actly like it). Never install any other battery pack.
It will ruin your tool and may create a hazardous con-
dition.
