To evacuate dust from the tool it is necessary to connect a vacuum cleaner
either directly to the port (

touch them before letting them cool down.
It is recommended to use vacuum cleaners designed for industrial
applications.
The remaining strip of material that may be left in the groove should be
removed with use of the cleaning wedge (Fig.
F , page 3).
Cutting is only possible along straight lines, any attempt to cut down
bends or curves leads to deflection and seizing of diamond blades.
When grooves are to be made in boards, they must rest on a steady
surface or be reliably supported.
To simplify guiding the tool to cut horizontal /inclined grooves in walls it
is recommended to use a wooden lath as a supplementary guiding bar.
Prior to punching openings in walls, e.g. with use of an impact hammer,
it is possible to avoid spalls of the wall material when a groove with the
maximum depth is preliminary cut in the wall with use of the grooving
machine.

PRIOR TO COMMENCE WORKING WITH THE TOOL:
1. Make sure that electric parameters of the power voltage correspond
to parameters of the electric tool according to specifications on the
rating plate.
2. Make sure that the On/Off switch ( 3 ) of the electric tool is in its Off
position.
3. While working with a power cord extension make sure that electric
parameters of the extension cable and cross-sections of its wires are
appropriated for corresponding parameters of the electric tool. The
extension cable must be fully uncoiled.
