The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and sound protection measures
are necessary.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the
time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop
using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the correct
level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long-term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary,
limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool
with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the
figures provided in the specification relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency
of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to international standards.
The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained,

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch ON invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
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 repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. 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. 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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety for Wall Chasers
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can
result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using
a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
WARNING: Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator
a) Always use guard provided with the tool. The guard must be securely attached to
the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken 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 ensure safe operation
c) The rated speed of the cutting discs must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. Cutting discs running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart
d) Cutting discs must be used only for recommended applications. Side forces applied to these
discs may cause them to shatter
e) The arbor size of the cutting discs and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power
tool. Discs and flanges with arbor 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
f) Do not use damaged cutting discs. Before each use, inspect the discs for chips and cracks.
If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged disc. After
inspecting and installing the disc, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
cutting disc and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute
g) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, 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 flying debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss
h) Position the cord clear of the cutting discs. If you lose control of the power tool, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the cutting disc
i) Never lay the power tool down until the cutting discs have come to a complete stop. The
cutting discs may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control
j) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the cutting
disc could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body
k) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards
l) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects
