of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools 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.

a. recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b. use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c. when battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d. under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. if contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. if liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
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.

warnings
cut-Off MacHinE safEtY warnings
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.
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.
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 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.
k. 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 fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
l.
Hold the 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 could give the
operator an electric shock.
m. 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.
n. never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel may grab the
surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
o. 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.
p. regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's
