m) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock
n) Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data
Kickback and related warnings
a) Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged cutting disc. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
forced in the opposite direction of the wheels rotation
b) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control
over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. Never place your hand near the cutting disc. The
wall chaser may kickback over your hand
c) Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of
snagging
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback
e) Do not "jam" the cut-off 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
f) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power
tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the cut-off 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
g) 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
Avoiding motor burnout
Note: Wall chasers are designed to work under load. Provided the motor is cooled quickly, minimal
wear or damage will occur.
• DO NOT over work the tool.
• If the tool emits a burning smell, DO NOT stop the tool; instead, remove from load and allow to
spin freely for approximately 5-10 seconds at high speed to cool the motor before continuing
work.
• Repeat the removal of the tool from load intermittently to keep the tool cool during use.
If a tool is slowing down on sticky material whilst under load:
1. Check the correct accessory type is being used.
2. Make shallower passes across the material.
