e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
b ) 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.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for Abrasive Cutting-off
Operations
a. The guard provided with the tool must be securely
attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. Position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
b. Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut‑off
wheels for your power tool. Just because an accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
NOTE: Use the wording "bonded reinforced" or "diamond"
as applicable depending on the designation of the tool.
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 fly apart.
d. Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the side
of 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 flanges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage.
f. Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger
power tools. Wheels intended for a larger power tool
are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst.
NOTE: The above warning does not apply for tools only
designated to be used with diamond wheels
g. 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.
h. The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges 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.
i. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use, inspect
the wheels for chips and cracks. If 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.
j. 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
