accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.
•
Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
•
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
•
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and
hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
•
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
•
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece
near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
•
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 that can cause kickback.
Cut-Off Machine Safety Warnings - Additional Safety Rules
WARNING: Avoid cutting in the upper quadrant of the blade, especially when beginning the cut. This
area is highly likely to lead to kickback.
WARNING: When cutting plastics, do not allow the plastic to melt. If the plastic melts, it can stick to the
blade, leading to kickback.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The network voltage must conform to the voltage indicated on the tool name plate. Under no
circumstances should the tool be used when the power supply cable is damaged. A damaged cable
must be replaced immediately by an authorized Customer Service Center. Do not try to repair the
damaged cable yourself. The use of damaged power cables can lead to an electric shock.
WARNING: Never operate a damaged machine. Always tag a damaged machine and take it out of
service until repairs can be made.
The connection between the power converter and the motor is by a special motor coupling cable. To connect,
unscrew the cap, align the tangs, push in, and screw on the collar. Take care to avoid bending the pins. Keep the
cap on when not in use. Do not alter this plug in any way.
