Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel
in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind
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 attempt to remove the cut-
off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk
up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
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 protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR
BATTERY CHARGER
1. Before charging, read the instructions.
2. For charge Li-ion battery pack only.
3. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
4. The battery terminal not connected to the chassis has to
be connected first. The other connection is to be made
to the chassis, remote from the battery and fuel line. The
battery charger is then to be connected to the supply
mains.
5. After charging, disconnect the battery charger from the
supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and
then the battery connection.
6. Do not charge a leaking battery.
7. Do not use chargers for works other than those for
which they are designed.
8. Before charging, ensure your charger is matching the
local AC supply.
9. The charging device must be protected from moisture.
10. Do not use the charging device in the open.
11. Do not short out the contacts of battery or charger.
12. Respect the polarity “+/-“ when charging.
13. Do not open the unit and keep out of the reach of
children.
14. Do not charge the batteries of other manufactures or ill-
suited models .
15. Ensure that the connection between the battery charger
and battery is correctly positioned and is not obstructed
by foreign bodies.
16. Keep battery charger’s slots are free of foreign objects
and protect against dirt and humidity. Store in a dry and
frost-free place.
17. When charging batteries, ensure that the battery charger
is in a well-ventilated area and away from inflammable
