g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
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 de-
signed.
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 re-
paired.
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 mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the pow-
er tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions 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. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, tool
bits etc. in accordance with these in-
structions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service
Safety Warnings for Cut Off Grinders
with Retracting Blade Guard
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.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one's health, combustible or explosive. Ex-
ample: Some dusts are regarded as carcino-
genic. Wear a dust mask and work with
dust/chip extraction when connectable.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
Never leave the power tool before it has
come to a complete stop. Cutting tools that
are still running can cause injuries.
Do not use the power tool with a damaged
cord. Do not touch the damaged cord and
pull the plug from the outlet when the cord
is damaged while working. Damaged cords
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Connect power tools that are used in the
open via a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI).
Never stand on the power tool. Serious in-
juries could occur when the power tool tips
over or when accidentally coming into con-
tact with the cutting disc.
Make sure that the blade guard operates
properly and can move freely. Never clamp
the blade guard in place while retracted.
Use the power tool only for dry cutting. Wa-
ter penetrating into a power tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
