Wear ear protectors!
WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized
test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for
diff erent applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may
signifi cantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched
off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool
and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifi cations provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
CUT-OFF MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
a) Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced cut-off wheels for your power
tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to
the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break and fl y apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that are of correct
diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel fl anges
support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage.

f) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory
must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
g) The arbour size of wheels and fl anges must properly fi t the
spindle of the power tool. Wheels and fl anges with arbour
holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause
loss of control.
h) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect the
wheels for chips and cracks. If the power tool or wheel is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged
wheel. After inspecting and installing the wheel, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load
speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally break
apart during this test time.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping fl ying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
fi ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
wheel may fl y away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you
lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or
arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.
l) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan
can draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
m) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable materials.
Do not operate the power tool while placed on a
combustible surface such as wood. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
n) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of
the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled
cutting unit to be forced upwards toward the operator.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool and position your
body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The
operator can control upward kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel. If
kickback occurs, it will propel the cutting unit upwards toward
the operator.
c) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
d) 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 or wheel breakage.
e) When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the cutting
unit motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of
wheel binding.
f) 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.
g) Support 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Always use eye and ear protection when cutting.
Use personal protective equipment such as dust mask,
gloves and apron. If there is the risk of falling object, wear
helmet or head protection.
Ensure that the abrasive cutting-off wheel is correctly fi tted
and tightened before use and run the machine at no-load for
30 seconds in a safe position, and to stop immediately and
replace the cutting-off wheel if there is considerable
vibration.
Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are secure.
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is
disconnected from the power supply. Failure to disconnect
the power supply could result in accidental starting causing
possible serious personal injury.
Assemble all parts to your cut-off machine before
connecting it to power supply.
The product should never be connected to the power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing wheels, or when not in use.
Visually inspect the abrasive wheel before every use. Check
the wheel for fi ssures and cracks. Do not use damaged
abrasive wheel.
Do not use saw blades.
Never use a wheel that is too thick to allow outer fl ange to
engage with the fl ats on the spindle. Larger wheels will
come in contact with the wheel guards, while thicker wheels
will prevent the bolt from securing the wheel on the spindle.
Either of these situations could result in a serious accident
and can cause serious personal injury.
Do not remove the machine's wheel guards. Never operate
the machine with any guard or cover removed. Make sure
all guards are operating properly before each use.
Do not start your cut-off machine without checking for
interference between the wheel and the machine base
support. Damage may result to the wheel if it strikes the
machine base support during operation.
Do not attempt to cut wood or masonry with the cut-off
machine. Never cut magnesium or magnesium alloy with the
machine.
Do not tighten wheel excessively, since this can cause
cracks.
Always ease the abrasive wheel against the workpiece
when starting to cut. A harsh impact can break the wheel.
Never cut more than one workpiece at a time. Do not stack
more than one workpiece on the machine base at a time.
To minimise risk of tipping the machine, always support long
workpieces.
Cutting steel will cause sparks. Do not operate in the
presence of combustible or fl ammable materials.
Never leave tool running unattended. Do not leave tool until
it comes to a complete stop.
Always release the power switch and allow the wheel to
stop rotating before raising it out of the workpiece.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep hands away from
wheel.
Do not reach underneath work or around or under the wheel
while the wheel is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut
material while wheel is moving.
Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the
path of the wheel.
Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool
is tipped or if the wheel is unintentionally contacted.
