DWT WS06-115 Notice Originale page 9

In the hands of an inexpert person, the tool may be
dangerous both for the operator and his environment.
• Take proper care of the tool condition. Monitor the
axial run-out and stability of movable parts' joints, and
pay proper attention at any faults that may result in the
tool damage. Bad condition of power tools is a frequent
cause of accidents.
• Cutting tools should be kept clean and must be well-
sharpened. Cutting tools with sharp cutting edges,
which are properly fixed reduce the risk of seizure and
facilitate the control over power tools.
• When using power tools and its accessories, follow
the instructions listed in this manual. During work with a
specific type of power tools, follow recommendations,
taking into account operational conditions and the type
of job performed.
Service of power tools
Your power tool should be serviced only by qualified
specialists, with the use of recommended spare parts.
This will guarantee labour safety, when your tool is
being applied.
Safety guidelines during
power tool operation
Before commencing operation
• Use this power tool only for dry cutting / grinding.
• Use the accessories, permissible revolutions per
minute of which exceed the number of revolutions
per minute of the power tool spindle. Follow the
manufacturers' recommendations concerning the
application of accessories.
• Always apply protection recommended (protective
casing, protective plate, etc.) when operating various
accessories.
• Do not operate cutting / grinding discs with fractures,
chips, deformations and other defects.
• Protect cutting / grinding discs from shocks, do not
allow oil on it.
• Do not operate accessories, the dimensions of
which (external and bore diameters) differ from the
recommended ones.
• It is strictly forbidden to use saw discs with this
power tool.
• When making cuts in walls or partitions, it is
necessary to find the location of hidden wiring, water-
pipes and gas pipes. Severe injuries may occur as a
result of damaging electric wiring or household utility
lines.
• If the working schedule cannot exclude damaging
the main supply cables, they have to be de-energized.
• Before commencing cutting of load-bearing walls
a permit from the relevant organizations must be
obtained.
During operation
• Bring the power tool to the billet only in the operating
mode. Start the processing only after the accessory
gains its maximal speed.
• Avoid power tool motor stop, when loaded.
• Beware of recoil (a sudden push back) of the power
tool. Recoil can take place if the recommendations
are not observed, while the cutting disc is brought to
a part too quick, because of the disc distortion, etc.
In order to decrease the possibility of recoil, always
use additional handle and adhere to the operation
recommendations.
• Maintain a stable position while working, hold your
power tool with both hands.
• During operation do not cover the ventilation slots
with your hands.
• During operation watch the position of a power cable
(it should always be positioned behind the power tool).
Do not allow it to whip around your legs or arms.
• Keep your hands safely away from the rotating parts
of your power tool.
• Do not use cutting discs for grinding - the effect
of the side force can lead to its destruction, and its
fragments can cause severe injuries to the operator.
• Dust generated during operation may be a hazard
to your health, inflammable or explosive; clean your
working place in time and use means of individual
protection.
• Operation may produce sparks and small metal
particles, which can cause injury to the operator or
to the bystanders. Always wear means of individual
protection (goggles and protective mask), as well as
arrange your working place in a proper way.
• During operation take the direction of accessories
rotation into account, hold the power tool in such a way
so the sparks and fine metal particles do not get onto
your clothes or skin.
• When grinding small workpieces too light for reliable
fixation, always use clamping appliances.
• Never grind workpieces containing asbestos.
• If the power supply suddenly cuts during operation,
immediately move on / off switch into off in order to
prevent accidental starting of the power tool.
After finishing operation
• After turning of the power tool off, the accessory
continues to rotate for some time due to inertia. This
is why the power tool should be put aside only after its
rotating parts come to a full stop.
• Slow the rotation of the accessories caused by
inertia down with the help of spindle lock or applying
force to the side surface of discs is strictly forbidden.
Using spindle lock for this purpose will put the power
tool out of operation and void the warranty.
• During operation, cutting / grinding discs become
very hot. Do not touch them before they cool down.
