WARNING:
•
When using an abrasive cut-off / diamond
wheel, be sure to use only the special wheel
guard designed for use with cut-off wheels.
•
NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
•
Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases
the loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility
of kickback, wheel breakage and overheating of
the motor may occur.
•
Do not start the cutting operation in the work-
piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and care-
fully enter into the cut moving the tool forward
over the workpiece surface. The wheel may
bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
started in the workpiece.
•
During cutting operations, never change the
angle of the wheel. Placing side pressure on
the cut-off wheel (as in grinding) will cause the
wheel to crack and break, causing serious per
-
sonal injury.
•
A diamond wheel shall be operated perpendicu
-
lar to the material being cut.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec
-
tion or maintenance.
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean.
Regularly clean the tool's air vents or whenever the
vents start to become obstructed.

Limit mark
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
