• Do not use cutting fl uids. These fl uids could
ignite or cause electrical shock.
• Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
• Use the cutting discs recommended by the
manufacturer only.
• The max. allowable speed of the cutting disc must
always be equal to or greater than the no-load
speed of the tool specifi ed on the nameplate.
• Do not use circular saw blades or any other
toothed blades with this tool. Serious injury may
result.
• Do not use cutting discs that do not conform to
the dimensions stated in the technical data.
• Ensure that the abrasive cutting disc is correctly
fi tted and tightened before use.
• Read the operating instructions supplied by the
wheel manufacturer.
• Let the tool run at no-load in a safe position for
at least 30 seconds. If there is a considerable
vibration or if any other defect occurs, stop the
tool and check it to determine the cause.
• Do not use cutting discs for side grinding.
• Do not cut concrete, brick, tile or ceramic materials.
• Do not cut wood, plastic or synthetic materials.
• Do not cut cast-iron materials.
• Never cut magnesium materials.
• Do not cut electrically live material.
• Use this tool in a well-ventilated area. Do not
operate the tool near fl ammable liquids, gases or
dust. Sparks or hot chips from cutting or arcing
motor brushes may ignite combustible materials.
• Regularly clear the ventilation slots when working
in dusty conditions. If it should become necessary
to clean the slots, remember to unplug the tool
fi rst.
• Always store cutting discs well-protected and in
a dry place, out of reach of children.
• Faults in the machine, including guards or cutting
discs, should be reported as soon as they are
discovered.
• Only use chop saw wheel of a
a max. thickness of 3.1 mm and
a max. diameter of 355 mm.
• Warning! Use of this tool
can generate dust containing
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
Use appropriate respiratory protection.
• Always secure the workpiece properly before
cutting operation. Workpieces longer than 1.0 m
shall be supported by suitable additional table,
buck or roller table.
• Consider that the wheel continues to rotate after
the machine is switched off.
• To prevent loss of control always fi x the machine
to a bench using screw-clamps or bolts of
suffi cient length and strength.
The following factors are of infl uence to noise
production:
– the material to be cut.
– the type of the cutting disc.
– the feed force.
WARNING: Take appropriate measures
for the protection of hearing.
Residual Risks
• The following risks are inherent to the use of
these machines:
– Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts.
– Injuries caused by disruption of the cutting
disc.
• These risks are most evident:
– Within the range of operation.
– Within the range of the rotating machine parts.
• In spite of the application of the relevant safety
regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
– Impairment of hearing.
– Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered
parts of the rotating cutting disc.
– Risk of injury when changing the disc.
– Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the
guards.
