For your safety
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow all safety warnings and in-
structions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Do not use this power tool before you have
thoroughly read and completely understood
this Instruction Manual and the enclosed
“General Safety Instructions”.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference. Pass on your power tool only to-
gether with these documents.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial
safety regulations.
Special Safety Instructions
Safety Warnings for wall chaser:
a] The guard provided with the tool must be se-
curely attached to the power tool and posi-
tioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the op-
erator. Position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard helps to protect operator from bro-
ken wheel fragments and accidental contact
with wheel.
b] Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your
power tool. Just because an accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
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 recommended
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 selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage.
f] The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized ac-
cessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
g] The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do
not match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
h] Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If
power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged wheel. After
inspecting and installing the wheel, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels will normally break apart
during this test time.
i] Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping fly-
ing debris generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable of fil-
trating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
j] Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken wheel
may fly away and cause injury beyond immedi-
ate area of operation.
k] Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hid-
den wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.
l] Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning wheel.
m] Never lay the power tool down until the ac-
cessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
n] Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
o] Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of pow-
dered metal may cause electrical hazards.
p] Do not operate the power tool near flamma-
ble materials. Sparks could ignite these mate-
rials.
q] Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at
the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these con-
ditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a] Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and po-
sition your body and arm to allow you to re-
sist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
