• DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL NEAR FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Sparks or hot chips from cutting
or arcing motor brushes may ignite combustiblematerials.
• Ensure that the abrasive wheel is correctly fitted and tightened
beforeuse.
• Let the tool run at no-load in a safe position for at least
1minute. If there is a considerable vibration or if any other
defect occurs, stop the tool and check it to determine
thecause.
• Ensure that ventilation slots are kept clear when working in
dusty conditions. First disconnect the machine from the mains
supply then clean the openings by using a softbrush.
• Do not use the side of the abrasive wheel as a deburring
grinder. This will substantially weaken the wheel creating an
unsafe condition. The wheel may comeapart.
• The wheel continues to rotate after the machine is
switchedoff.
WARNING: Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and duration of use,
noise from this product may contribute to hearingloss.
CAUTION: Spark deflector will get hot. Avoid touching
or adjusting while hot. Keep cordset and materials away
from sparkdeflector.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from cutting
activity Wear protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of
harmfulchemicals.
• Do not use toothedblades.
• Always store cutting discs well-protected and in a dry place,
out of reach ofchildren.
• Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
• Only use chop saw wheel of a max. thickness of
3.0mm and a max. diameter of 355mm.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA orless.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of these machines:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotatingparts.
• Injuries caused by disruption of the cuttingdisc.
These risks are most evident:
• Within the range ofoperation.
• Within the range of the rotating machineparts.
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 ofhearing.
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating
cuttingdisc.
• Risk of injury when changing thedisc.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening theguards.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the ratingplate.
Your
tool is double insulated in accordance
with EN62841; therefore no earth wire isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the
serviceorganisation.
Mains Plug Replacement
(Middle East and Africa)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 13A.
Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core
extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see
Technical Data). The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
2
; the
maximum length is30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
Voltage Drops
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops. Under
unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment may
beaffected.
If the system impedance of the power supply is lower than
0.11Ω, disturbances are unlikely tooccur.
Power Supply
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking.
A voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause a loss of power
andoverheating.
