� Check if all nuts and screws are
properly tightened. It is important to
check the machine regularly in order to
ensure its security and efficiency;
� After assembling the discs and
before operating the equipment, test
it at maximum speed at no load for a
few seconds. Verify if there are any
misalignments on the disc or any
condition that may affect its normal
operation. All moving parts must spin
softly without abnormal noises;
� Make sure that the cutting disc spins
according to the arrow shown on the
blade;
� Check if the safety devices are
in perfect conditions and working
correctly. Never use the machine if
any safety device is missing, inhibited,
damaged or worn;
� If the switch is damaged or does not
allow controlling the tool, it must be
repaired or replaced in a way to avoid
a sudden start;
Perform all the needed adjustments
and in case of doubts ask your
distributor for assistance.
2.4 - WHILE OPERATING
Keep other people away from
the working area. Never use the
tool if animals or people, particularly
children, are nearby.
Keep the working area clean, organized
and well illuminated (brightness from
250 to 300 lux), in order to reduce
the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective
equipment. Wearing safety goggles,
safety masks, ear protection, non-slip
safety footwear, long sleeve clothing,
gloves and helmet under proper
conditions reduces the risk of injuries.
Everyone that enters the working
area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments can be
projected during operation that may
cause injuries outside the direct
working area.
The clothing worn while operating the
tool must be appropriate and tight,
such as a work coverall. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from the
moving parts.
To ensure a safe operation, you must:
� The discs rated speed must be, at
least, equal to the maximum speed
shown in the technical specifications of
the machine;
� When using the machine, place
yourself in a stable position and well
balanced. Hold the equipment firmly to
ensure a continuous operation and to
withstand unexpected situations, such
as a kickback;
The kickback is a sudden reaction that
happens when the machine is switched
on and the cutting disc gets stuck or it’s
pressed. The disc’s kickback causes
the tool to be forced in the opposite
direction of the disc, towards the user.
The kickback occurs due to an incorrect
use of the tool or due to a not proper
working procedure which can cause
serious injuries to the user. To avoid
the kickback, the following precautions
must be considered:
- Place and keep the disc in the right
position and well tightened;
- Do not place yourself in the area
where the machine will move in case of
a kickback;
- When the cutting disc gets stuck or
the cutting action is interrupted for any
reason, release the “ON/OFF” switch
immediately and keep the saw steady
until the blade stops completely;
- Never pull the saw backwards nor
try to remove the work piece while
the blade is rotating, otherwise it may
occur a kickback;
� To avoid displacements or projections,
use fixation devices or a workbench to
ensure a safe operation. Place and
keep the work piece at the right position
and well tightened;
� The external diameter, the thickness
and the cutting disc notch must match
the tool’s technical specifications.
Wrong size discs may not be properly
protected or controlled;
� The fixing screws of the cutting angle
regulation guides and blade depth and
the fixing screw of the cutting guide
must be well tightened before initiating
the cutting process. Any changes on the
blade while cutting may cause machine
damages and injuries to the user;
� Make sure that the ventilation openings
are not blocked while operating the
machine. Do not place any objects over
the grids;
� The discs may overheat during
operation. Avoid touching them. They
might burn the user;
� Make sure that you don’t damage
the electrical circuits, gas and water
pipes when operating the equipment
in drywalls or other existing surfaces.
Any of these damages may cause fires,
explosions, electrical shocks, expensive
losses and a kickback;
� Every time you use the machine
inside confined or poorly ventilated
spaces it is recommended the use of an
equipment for extraction and collection
of particles connected to the saw;
� Avoid using the machine on surfaces
coated with paints containing lead or
other materials harmful to health. Any
contact or inhalation of dust may cause
allergic reactions and / or breathing
diseases;
2.5 - MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
Before inspection, maintenance and
cleaning works, turn the equipment off
and remove the battery.
