Original instructions

1. Declaration of Conformity

We declare under our sole responsibility: These
wall chasers, identified by type and serial number
*1), comply with all relevant requirements of the
directives *2) and standards *3). Technical file at *4)
- see page 3.

2. Specified Use

The machine is designed for cutting or slitting
channels (chasing) in primarily mineral based
materials such as reinforced concrete, masonry
and paving, while firmly supported on the level
surface, without water.
Do not use abrasive cut-off wheels.
Use only diamond cut-off wheels.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health must not be processed.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.

3. General Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your electrical tool only together with these
documents.

4. Special Safety Instructions

4.1 Safety instructions for abrasive cut-off
machines
a) The guard belonging to the power tool must
be securely attached and positioned for
maximum safety so that the minimum area of
the wheel is exposed towards the operator.
Ensure that neither you or bystanders are
positioned within the plane of the rotating
abrasive wheel. The guard helps to protect
operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel.
b) Only use diamond cut-off wheels for your
power tool. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) Abrasive wheels must only be used for the
applications recommended. e.g.: Never use the
side surface of a cut-off wheel for grinding.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct size and shape for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
f) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
g) The abrasive wheels and flange must fit
precisely onto your power tool's grinding
spindle. Accessories with arbour holes that do not
fit the power tool's grinding spindle will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
h) Do not use damaged abrasive wheels.
Before each use, check the abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks. If the power tool or the
abrasive wheel is dropped, inspect for damage.
Never use a damaged abrasive wheel. Once
you have checked and installed the wheel,
position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating wheel and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged abrasive wheels will normally
break apart during this test period.
i) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtering particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
the work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
k) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
