2. Specific safety instructions
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Always use guard provided with the tool. The guard 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.
Use only 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.
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.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cutoff wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
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 accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you
lose control of the power tool, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
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
