c) Avoid the area in front of and behind a
rotating cutting wheel. A kickback will send
the electric power tool in the opposite direction
to the movement of the grinding disc at the
point where it jams.
d) work extremely carefully in the
neighbourhood of corners, sharp edges
etc. Prevent the tool insert from recoiling
from the workpiece and jamming. The
rotating tool insert bends at corners and sharp
edges or if it rebounds and may jam itself. This
causes a loss of control or kickback.
e) do not use any chainsaw or toothed saw
blade, nor any segmented diamond disc,
with slots wider than 10 mm. Such tool
inserts frequently cause a kickback or loss of
control of the electric power tool.
f) Avoid jamming of the cutting wheel or too
high a contact pressure. do not make
excessively deep cuts. An overload of the
cutting wheel increases its stress and its
susceptibility to tilting or jamming and, hence,
increases the possibility of a kickback or break
in the grinding wheel.
g) If the cutting wheel becomes jammed or if
you interrupt the work, switch the device
off and keep it held gently until the disc
has come to a standstill. never attempt to
remove a still-running cutting wheel from
the cut, otherwise kickback may result.
Find and remove the cause for the jamming.
h) do not switch on the electric power tool
again, while it is still in the workpiece.
Allow the cutting wheel to first reach its full
rotation speed before carefully continuing
the cut; otherwise, the disc may snag, jump
out of the workpiece or cause a kickback.
i) Provide support for large workpieces, to
reduce the risk of a kickback through
jamming of the cutting wheel. Large
workpieces can bend under their own weight.
The workpiece must be supported on both sides
of the disc, as well as both in the neighbourhood
of the separation cut and at the edges.
j) be especially careful when making "pocket
cuts" in existing walls or other non-visible
areas. The immersed cutting tool can cause a
kickback when cutting into gas or water pipes,
electric cables or other objects.
2.7 SAFETy And oPErATIng InSTruCTIonS
For dIAmond grIndIng whEElS
use
Only use the cut off grinding disc for cut off
grinding and not for rough grinding! Only use the
cut off grinding discs for the materials indicated
and not for any other materials. Risk of injury!
Cutting and cooling!
general Information
This tool insert is fragile, therefore extreme care
is required when handling it. The use of damaged
and incorrectly tensioned or installed tool inserts
is dangerous and can result in serious injury.
handling and storage
Tool inserts must be carefully handled and
transported. Tool inserts should be stored in such
a way that they are not exposed to any
mechanical damage or damaging environmental
influences.
To avoid damage, remove the tool insert before
transporting an electric power tool.
Selection and safe and proper use
Pay attention to the data on the label or on the
tool insert, such as the restrictions on use, safety
instructions or other advice. Do not alter the
characteristic direction of motion of the tool insert.
If there is ambiguity over the selection of tool
inserts, contact the manufacturer or a specialist.
Adhere to the permissible rotation speeds for the
tool insert and the electric power tool.
before use
Tool inserts must be given a visual inspection
before each start-up. Do not use damaged tool
inserts. Secure the piece to be worked on.
Inserting and changing
Tighten the tool inserts in accordance with their
instructions and those of the electric power tool's
manufacturer. The tightening of tool inserts should
only be undertaken by qualified persons. After
each tightening, carry out a test run for a suitable
length of time, during which the characteristic
maximum working speed of the tool insert may
not be exceeded.
Always tighten tool inserts without introducing any
out-of-roundness.
