[. . . ] 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. 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. [. . . ] overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage. Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you. When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion, otherwise kickback may occur. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece. Additional safety instructions for grinding and cutting off operations Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel. English | 23 Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel. Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The machine is intended for cutting, roughing, and brushing metal and stone materials without using water. For cutting metal, a special protection guard for cutting (accessory) must be used. For cutting stone, a special extraction hood for cutting with cutting guide (accessory) must be used. With approved sanding tools, the machine can be used for sanding with sanding discs. Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are: Sound pressure level 88 dB(A); Sound power level 99 dB(A). The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. [. . . ] Cutting Stone For cutting stone, always work with the cutting guide with dust extraction protection guard 16. The machine may be used only for dry cutting/grinding. slots in structural walls are subject to the Standard DIN 1053 Part 1 , or country-specific regulations. These regulations are to be observed under all circumstances. [. . . ]
