Danger of injury.
When the cutting disc vibrates too strongly in idling mode, it can lead to
breakage. In case of irregularities during use, immediately switch off the
machine and have it repaired.
Secure the workpiece. Use the vice to secure the workpiece.
Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.
During machining, the workpiece must be firmly supported and secured against
moving.
Long workpieces must be sufficiently supported.
Begin cutting only after having reached the max. rpm.
Use only the cutting edge of the cutting disc to cut.
Do not use the lateral surface of the cutting disc for grinding jobs.
When working on workpieces with curves or inclined surfaces, make sure that no
lateral pressure is applied to the cutting disc.
Ensure that sparks produced during work do not constitute a risk to the user
or other personnel and are not able to ignite inflammable substances.
Endangered areas must be protected with flameresistant covers.
Make sure that fire-risk areas are always provided with suitable fire
extinguishers.
The workpiece can be very hot after having been machined. Caution, risk of
burning!
Reduce dust exposure:
Some dust created by using this power tool may contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from leadbased
paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber, hard wood like oak or
beech, Metals, Asbestos.
The risk from these exposures depends on how long you or bystanders are being
exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid deposits in the
surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work (see chapter 10.), thus less
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not blow, beat or brush
