Maintenance
Setup
5.
When wheel is pinched, snagged 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. Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
6.
Do not restart the cutting operation in
the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
7.
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.
8.
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.
Safety Warnings Specific For Wire Brushing Operations
1.
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown
by the brush even during ordinary
operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to
the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
2.
allow brushes to run at operating
speed for at least one minute before
using them. During this time no one
is to stand in front or in line with the
brush. Loose bristles or wires will be
discharged during the run‑in time.
3.
Direct the discharge of the spinning wire
brush away from you. Small particles and
tiny wire fragments may be discharged at
high velocity during the use of these brushes
and may become imbedded in your skin.
Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
long‑term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration‑related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly
or for an extended period should first
be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check‑ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused or
worsened from use. Pregnant women or
people who have impaired blood circulation
to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous
system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s
Disease should not use this tool. If you
feel any medical or physical symptoms
related to vibration (such as tingling,
numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek
medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration‑related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
5. Include vibration‑free periods
each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible
(while still keeping safe control of
it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
