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 diff erent from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep the grip and grip surfaces dry, clean, and
free of oil and grease.
Slippery grips and grip surfaces do not enable safe
operation and inspection of the electrical tool in unfore-
seeable situations.
2.1.5 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
2.2 Safety instructions for all cut-off machines
and fl oor cutters
Only use diamond cutting discs for your power tool.
a) Just because you have the accessories on your power
tool can be fi xed, guarantees that no safe use. The
permissible speed of the insertion tool must be at least
as high as the maximum number of revolutions indica
ted on the power tool. Accessories that rotate faster
than allowed may break and fl y around.
b) Diamond cutting discs may only be used for
recommended applications used will be like. Never
grind with the side face of a cut-off wheel. Cut-off
wheels are designed to remove material with the edge
of the wheel. Lateral Force applied to these abrasives
can break.
c) Always use undamaged clamping fl anges of the correct
size for the cut-off wheel you have selected. Suitable
fl anges support the cut-off wheel and thus reduce the
risk of a cut-off wheel breakage.
d) The outer diameter and thickness of the insert tool
must be in accordance with the dimensions of your
power tool. Incorrectly dimensioned insert tools cannot
be adequately shielded or controlled.
(e) Will be cut-off wheels, fl anges or other accessories
must fi t exactly on the grinding spindle of your
power tool. Insert tools that do not fi t exactly on the
grinding spindle of your power tool, turn unevenly,
vibrate very strongly and can lead to loss of control.
f) Do not use damaged insertion tools.Check for chip
ping and cracks before each use. If the power tool
or the insert tool falls down, check for damage or use
an undamaged insert tool.
Once you have inspected the power tool and set it
in place, stay outside the plane of the rotating power
tool and let the power tool run at maximum speed for
one minute. Damaged insert tools usually break in
of this testing period.
2.3 Further safety instructions for all cut-off ma-
chines and fl oor cutters
Backstop - causes and corresponding safety instructions
a) Kickback is the sudden reaction due to a hooked
or blocked rotating insert, such as grinding wheel,
grinding disc, wire brush, etc. Hooking or blocking
causes an abrupt stop of the rotating insert tool. This
will cause an uncontrolled electric against the direction
of rotation of the insert tool accelerated at the blocking
point.
b) Hold the power tool fi rmly and move your body and
arms to a position where you can absorb the kickback
forces. Always use the extra handle, if available, to
hold the to have the greatest possible control over kick
back forces or reaction moments during start-up.
The operator can control the recoil and reaction forces
by taking appropriate precautions.
c) Never bring your hand near rotating tools.
The insert tool can move over your hand during kick
back. Avoid using your body in the area where the
power tool will be moved in the event of a kickback,
which will drive the power tool in the opposite direction
to the movement of the grinding wheel at
the blocking point. Be especially careful when making
„pocket cuts" in existing fl oors or other areas that can
not be seen. The plunging cut-off wheel can be
Cutting into gas or water pipes, electrical lines or other
objects can cause a kickback.
d) Work particularly carefully around corners, sharp
edges, etc. Prevent setting tools from bouncing
back and jamming from the workpiece. The rotating
insertion tool tends to jam at corners, sharp edges or
when it bounces. This causes a loss of control or
kickback.
e) Do not use a chain or toothed saw blade.
Such tools often cause kickback or loss of control of
the power tool.
