tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
• The vibration emission during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared total value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
Operators should identify safety measures to protect
themselves that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger).
• Remain at a distance from the blade when the motor
is running.
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 tool´s
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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Under no circumstances should you modify the
original design of the machine without approval from
the manufacturer. Always use original spare parts.
Unauthorized modifications and/or accessories may
lead to serious injury or death to the user or others.

• Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are
routed in the working area or in the material to be
cut.
• Always check and mark out where gas pipes are
routed. Cutting close to gas pipes always entails
danger. Make sure that sparks are not caused when
cutting in view of the risk of explosion. Remain
concentrated and focused on the task. Carelessness
can result in serious personal injury or death.
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.
Cut-off machine safety warning
• The guard provided with the tool must be securely
attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. Position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with
the wheel.
• Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-off
wheels for your power tool. Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
• 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.
• Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example, do not grind with the side
of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
• Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
• Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger
power tools. Wheels intended for a larger power tool
are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool
and may burst.
• 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.
• The arbour size of wheels and flanges must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool. Wheels and flanges
with arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
• Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect wheels for chips and cracks. If power tool or
wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged wheel. After inspecting and installing the
