Safety Instructions
General safety rules
- WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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.
Work area safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- 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.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water enteringa power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. NOTE: The term residual current device (RCD) may be replaced by the term ground fault circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or earth lealkage circuit breaker (ELCB).
Personal satety
- 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.
- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro- tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- 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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- 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.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- 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.
Power tool use and care
- 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.
- 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.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
- 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.
- Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- 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.
Service
-
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.

- Do not under any circumstances use grinding discs as the cutting tool.
Operation
- Hold the power tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the cutting wheel making any contact. Then turn the power tool on and wait until the cutting wheel attains full speed. Now simply move the power tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed. Keep your cutting line straight and your speed of advance uniform.
- This power tool should only be used on horizontal surfaces.
- Be sure to move the power tool forward in a straight line and gently. Forcing and exerting excessive pressure or allowing the cutting wheel to bend, pinch or twist in the cut can cause overheating of the motor and dangerous kickback of the power tool. Working hints for your power tool
- Draw a guideline along the desired line of cut before beginning your cut,
- Avoid placing the power tool on the part of the workpiece that will fall off when the cut is made.
- Guide the power tool evenly and with light feed in the cutting direction. Excessive feed significantly reduces the service life of the cutting wheel and can cause damage to the power tool.
Maintenance
- Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
- Keep the power tool ventilation slots clean and free from obstructions. If available, blow compressed air into the vents to clear any internal dust (safety goggles must be worn when undertaking this process). Accumulation of dust in the motor or on the base may cause a malfunction of the tool.
- Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
- Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
- Always store your power tool in a dry place.
- The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon brush results in motor trouble. To inspecting or replacing the carbon brushes, use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps (See Fig 6 ).Take out the carbon brushes. If it becomes worn to or near “wear limit”, replacing the new ones, reinstall the rear cover firmly. Note: Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Troubleshooting
- If your power tool will not operate, check the power at the mains plug, or check the carbon brushes.
- If your power tool doesn’t work properly, check that cutting wheel for sharpness, dressing the cutting wheel or rep ace it with a new one if worn.
