ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR WALL SLOTTERS

• Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
• Wear safety goggles, hearing protection and if necessary other protective means, such as safety gloves, safety shoes, etc.
• Before use, remove all nails and other metal objects from the wall.
• Be aware of hidden pipes and wiring when cutting slots into walls.
• Always hold the machine with two hands.
• Do not use the machine without the guard.
• Inspect the cutting discs before each use. Do not use cutting discs which are bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
• Make sure that the cutting discs are properly mounted.
• Make sure that the cutting discs rotate in the correct direction.
• Do not use the machine with the cutting discs facing upwards or to the side.
• Only use cutting discs that are suitable for use with the machine.
• Only use cutting discs with the correct dimensions.
• Do not use other accessories than cutting discs.
• Do not use the machine when a maximum slot depth is required that exceeds the maximum slot depth of the cutting discs.
• Make sure that your hands do not touch the rotating parts.
• Always work in the correct working direction (see indication on the base).
• Let the machine run at no load in a safe area after mounting the cutting discs. If the machine vibrates strongly, immediately switch off the machine, remove the mains plug from the mains, and try to solve the problem.
• Beware that the cutting discs continue to rotate for a short period after switching off the machine. Do not attempt to bring the cutting discs to a standstill yourself.
• Never put the machine down on a table or a workbench before it has been switched off.

Kickback
Kickback is the upward and backward movement of the cutting discs when the cutting discs unexpectedly touch an object. Securely hold the machine with both hands during use. Keep your attention focused on the operation.
Kickback is usually caused by:
– unintentionally touching hard objects or materials with the rotating cutting discs;
– blunt cutting discs;
– cutting discs that are not properly mounted;
– cutting into a previous cut;
– a lack of attention to the operation;
– an instable stance.
Additional safety warnings for lasers

• Do not look directly into the laser beam.
• Do not point the laser beam humans or animals.
• Do not point the laser beam at strongly reflecting material.
• Do not insert hard objects into the laser optics.
• Clean the laser optics with a soft, dry brush.
• Only have the laser repaired by a qualified technician.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Always check that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or the mains plug is damaged.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable for the power rating of the machine with a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm2. If you use a extension cable reel, always fully unroll the cable.

Mains plug replacement (UK only)
If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is damaged and needs replacing, it is important that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by an approved BS 1363/13A fused plug and that the following wiring instructions are followed. The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:
blue…………. neutral
brown…………. live
As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of the unit may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in the plug, proceed as follows:
– The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
– The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated in this instruction manual has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it may be used to compare one tool with another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when using the tool for the applications mentioned
– using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintainted accessories, may significantly increase the exposure level
– the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may significantly reduce the exposure level
Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns

Replacing the cutting discs (fig. B – D)
Worn or damaged cutting discs must be replaced immediately.
– Only use sharp and undamaged cutting discs.
– Only use cutting discs that are suitable for the material to be worked.
– Only use cutting discs with a maximum permitted speed that is equal to or exceeds the maximum no-load speed of the machine.
– Only use diamond cutting discs that are suitable for dry cutting.
– Always replace both cutting discs at the same time.
– Never attempt to remove the guard.

• Place the machine on a stable surface.

• Loosen the Allen screws (15) using the Allen key (16).

• Loosen the locking knob (3) and lower the base (10).

• Remove the guard (6).

• Keep the spindle lock button (5) pressed to lock the spindle (17).

• Loosen the outer flange (18) using the flange key (19).

• Remove the old cutting disc (20), the spacers (21), the old cutting disc (22), the spindle sleeve (23), and the inner flange (24).
  If necessary, use the splitting wedge (25) to remove the spacers (21).

• If necessary, clean the flanges (18 & 24).

• Mount the inner flange (24), the spindle sleeve (23), the new cutting disc (22), the spacers (21), and the new cutting disc (20).

• Firmly tighten the outer flange (18) using the flange key (19).

• Mount the guard (6).

• Raise the base (10) and tighten the locking knob (3).

• Firmly tighten the Allen screws (15) using the Allen key (16).

USE

Setting the slot width (fig. B – E)
The slot width can be set using the spacers between the cutting discs. The number of spacers between the cutting discs determine the slot width.
– Do not set the slot width during use.
– Always mount at least one spacer between the cutting discs.

• Determine the slot width.
• Mount the spacers (21) around the cutting discs (20 & 22) in the required order. Refer to the chapter “Replacing the cutting discs”.

Setting the slot depth (fig. A & F)
The slot depth is variable between 0 and 28 mm.
The slot depth can be read from the scale (4).
Do not set the slot depth during use.

• Slacken the locking knob (3).
• Tilt the base (10) to the required position. Set a slot depth approximately 3 mm deeper than the required depth to compensate for possible unevenness of the wall surface.
• Tighten the locking knob (3).

Switching on and off (fig. A)

• To switch on the machine, keep the lock-off button (2) pressed and simultaneously press the on/off switch (1).
• To switch off the machine, release the on/off switch (1).

Overload protection
The machine is equipped with an overload protection device which automatically switches off the machine if the machine is overloaded.

• Switch off the machine.
• Remove the machine from the workpiece.
• Switch on the machine.
