4 POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
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 the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety meas-
ures 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. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. 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 op-
erations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5 SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON
RISKS DUE TO VIBRATION
a) The declared vibration data represents
the main applications of the tool, but
different uses of the tool or poor main-
tenance can result in different vibration
data. This may significantly increase the
vibration level over the total working period.
b) Additional safety measure shall be taken
to protect the user from effects of vibra-
tion. Maintain the tool and its accessories,
keep hands warm and organize work pat-
terns and periods.
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 frag-
ments 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 op-
eration.
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 recom-
mended 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 se-
lected wheel. Proper wheel flanges sup-
port the wheel thus reducing the possibility
of wheel breakage.
f) The outside diameter and the thick-
ness of your accessory must be within
the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
