reduce dust related hazards.
d) Power Tool Use and Care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the operation of the power tools. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep the cutting blades sharp and clean.
Maintaining cutting blades with sharp edges
prevents power tools from being stuck and it is
easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories, and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working con-
ditions, and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
e) Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure the safety
of the power tool after maintenance.
Additional Safety Precautions for
Marble Cutters
Caution! Do not touch exposed metal parts of
the tool when cutting through walls and floors, or
when in contact with electrical wiring! Hold the
tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per-
4
forming an operation where the cutting tool
may come in contact with concealed wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and this will
cause electric shock to the operator.
1. Always keep your hands away from the cut-
ting area and the diamond wheel. Always
keep the other hand on the side handle. If
you hold the tool with both hands, you will not
be injured by the wheel.
2. Do not touch the underside of the work-
piece because the guard cannot protect the
part of the wheel under the workpiece.
3. Always use a diamond wheel with well-
matched size and center (diamond or circular
shape). Mismatched wheel and holder will result
in eccentric operation and you may lose control.
4. Do not use any washer or bolt that is dam-
aged or unfit in size; otherwise you will lose
control of the operation.
5. Do not use any grinding wheel.
6. Do not use any diamond wheel that does not
conform to the manufacturer's stipulations.
7. Do not use any cutting wheel that has been
damaged, distorted, or cracked.
8. Do not operate the tool without the fixed
guard.
9. Do not start the tool with the cutting wheel
touching the workpiece.
10. After switching off the tool, put down the
tool only after the cutting wheel has com-
pletely stopped running. Do not force the
wheel to stop.
11. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and ensure that the diamond wheel is sta-
tionary before replacing it, adjusting the
cutting depth or water pipe, or repairing the
tool.
12. Only hold the tool by its insulated gripping
surface when the diamond wheel is likely
to cut through concealed wires or its own
cord. If the diamond wheel touches a "live"
wire, the exposed metal parts of the power
tool may be charged and thus cause electric
shock to the operator.
13. Be extra cautious when "blind cutting"
through walls or other blind areas because
the diamond wheel may cut into gas or water
piping, wires, or resilient objects.
