and against accidental touching of the cutting disc.
f
Make sure that the guard operates properly and
that it can move freely. Never lock the guard in place
when opened.
f
Use the power tool only for dry cutting. Water pen-
etrating into a power tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.
f
Keep the mains cable away from rotating application
tools. The mains cable can be cut through or get
caught.
f
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss
of control.
f
Never remove cutting remainders, metal chips, etc.
from the cutting area while the machine is running.
Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral posi-
tion first and then switch the machine off.
f
Guide the cutting disc against the workpiece only
when the machine is switched on. Otherwise, there
is danger of kickback, when the cutting disc becomes
wedged in the workpiece.
f
Operate the power tool only when the work area to
the workpiece is clear of any adjusting tools, metal
chips, etc. Small pieces of metal or other objects that
come in contact with the rotating cutting disc can
strike the operator with high speed.
f
Always firmly clamp the workpiece. Do not cut work-
pieces that are too small to clamp. Otherwise, the
clearance of your hand to the rotating cutting disc
is too small.
f
If the cutting disc becomes jammed, switch the ma
-
chine off and wait until the cutting disc comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove a still run
-
ning cutting disc from the cut, otherwise there is
danger of kickback. Determine and correct the cause
for the jamming.
f
After switching off, do not stop the cutting disc by
applying lateral pressure to it. The cutting disc can
become damaged, break or lead to kickback.
f
Do not force the cutting disc into the workpiece
and do not apply too much pressure when using the
power tool. Particularly avoid jamming or wedging
the cutting disc when working corners or sharp edg-
es. When the cutting disc is damaged due to abuse,
cracks can form that can lead to breakage without
prior warning.
f
Wear a work apron. Pay attention that other persons
are not put at risk from sparking. Remove flamma-
ble materials in close vicinity. Sparking occurs when
cutting metal.
f
Use the cut-off saw only for cutting materials men-
tioned under “Intended Use”. Otherwise, the cut-off
grinder can be subject to overload.
f
Do not use damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating cut-
ting discs. Damaged cutting discs cause increased
friction, binding of the cutting disc and kickback.
f
Always use cutting discs with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Cutting discs
that do not match the mounting hardware of the
cut-off grinder will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
f
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
f
Observe the operating instructions of the cut-off
wheel manufacturer for assembly and use of the cut-
off wheel. Cut-off wheels that do not fit can lead to
injury as well as to jamming, breaking or kickback.
f
Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-
signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
f
Do not touch the cutting disc after working before it
has cooled. The cutting disc becomes very hot while
working.
f
Check the cable regularly and have a damaged ca-
ble repaired only through an authorised customer
service agent for FF GROUP power tools. Replace
damaged extension cables. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
f
Store the machine in a safe manner when not being
used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage damage,
and from being operated by untrained persons.
f
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
f
Never leave the machine before it has come to a
complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running
can cause injuries.
f
Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug
when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on the ma-
chine’s rating plate are compatible with the power
supply you intend to connect it to.
This appliance is Class II and is designed for connec
-
tion to a power supply matching that detailed on the
rating label and compatible with the plug fitted. If
an extension lead is required, use an approved and
compatible lead rated for this appliance. Follow all
the instruction supplied with the extension lead.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
f
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
f
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
f
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
f
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This
circuit should be protected with the appropriate
time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor
to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the electric voltage is rated the
same as the voltage stamped on the motor name
-
plate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for stationary use with
cutting discs to perform lengthways and crossways
straight cuts or mitre cuts to 45° in metal materials
without the use of water.
