Safety Notes
Avoid blocking the disc and do not use excessive pressure. Do not attempt
excessively deep cuts. Excessive loads on the cutting disc increase the
stress and make it more prone to jamming or blocking and increase the
risk of kickback of fracture.
Steer clear of the area directly in front or behind the spinning discs. If the
cutting part of the disc is moving away from you, the electric tool with the
spinning disc can be thrown back at you in the case of a kickback.
If the disc becomes stuck or locked in the work piece or you intend to
interrupt your work, turn off the electric tool and hold it tightly until the disc
has come to a complete standstill. Never attempt to lift the spinning disc
out of the cut, this may cause kickback. Verify and remove the cause for
the stoppage.
Do not turn on the electric tool while the disc is in the work piece. Allow the
disc to reach full speed before carefully resuming the cut. Otherwise the
disc may jam, jump out of the cut or kick back.
Support sheets or large work pieces to reduce the risk of a kickback
caused by the disc being wedged in the work piece. Larger work pieces
may deform under their own weight. The work piece must be supported on
both sides, on the edges as well as close to the cut.
Be especially careful when undertaking "pocket cuts" in existing walls or
other areas which cannot be overlooked. When plunging into the wall the
disc can kick back when hitting gas or water pipes, wires or other objects
in the wall.
Make sure the cord cannot get caught in any way. Do not wind the cord
around the electric tool and do not bend it. Do not jam the cord or pull cord
around edges. Do not pinch the power cord in any way and keep it away
from hot surfaces.
Before cleaning or maintaining, first disconnect the plug from power
mains.
Do not continue using the electric tool if it was damaged or the tool was
dropped or immersed in water. Please contact our customer support
service.
