ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
£
WARNING:
Always disconnect the Disc Cutter
from the mains supply before changing discs,
servicing, cleaning or adjusting the Disc Cutter.
• Keep your hands away from cutting area and
the cutting disc. Keep your second hand on
the auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the machine, they cannot
come into contact with the diamond disc.
• Never engage the spindle lock button while
the machine is running. Serious damage could
occur to the machine and potentially a very
hazardous situation arise for the operator.
• Only use diamond discs or other approved
cutting discs as specified by the manufacturer.
Do not operate the cutter while applying
water. The cutting discs are ‘dry cut’ discs.
• Always check the diamond disc before
starting the machine. If it is cracked, broken
or bent, do not use it. Carefully start the
machine and check for any unusual noises,
vibration or other abnormalities.
• Be careful when cutting metal. Using the
diamond disc to cut metal (reinforcing rods
embedded in concrete) will shorten its
service life and could lead to disc damage.
• Allow the Cutting Disc to reach full speed
before beginning a cut. Start working only
when maximum speed is reached.
• Do not use excessive force. Excessive force
overloads the motor and reduces working
efficiency and service life. Always cut concrete,
tile or stone to a maximum cutting depth of
50mm or less. If the cutting depth is more than
50mm, cut the workpiece 2 or 3 times. If the
workpiece is cut with a cutting depth of more
than 50mm, the service life of the diamond
disc will be re¬duced and the motor may seize.
• Install the dust extraction port cover when
a dust collection hose is not in use. During
cutting operations if sparks could be
generated, cover the dust extraction port
with its rubber cap and be sure to wear
protective glasses.
• Never use a damaged or incorrect arbor
bolt or disc flanges. The disc flanges and
arbor bolt were specially designed for your
machine to provide optimum performance
and safety of operation.
• This saw is equipped with an approved cord
and plug for its intended Country of use. Do
not alter or modify the power cord. If the
moulded plug or the power cord is damaged
in any way it must be replaced with an
identical type by a competent technician.
