WARNING
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.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions, including those given in the accompanying
brochure. 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
Appliances used at many different locations including open
air should be connected via a residual current device of
30 mA or less.
Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying
out any work on the machine.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine.
Always lead the cable away behind you.
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the machine. The use of protective clothing is
recommended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy
non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the
machine is running.
Never reach into the danger area of the plane when it is
running.
Always use the protective shields on the machine.
Never use the Cutting-Off Grinder to cut materials other
than those specified in the instruction manual.
The handle lock must always be engaged when transporting
the Cutting-Off Grinder.
Only use the Cutting-Off Grinder with guards in good
working order and properly maintained, and in position.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work
with the machine.
Do not use cut-off wheels which are damaged or deformed

Always use and store the cut-off wheels according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Use only cut-off wheels that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard. Cut-off Wheels for which
the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss
of control.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of
cut-off wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard
helps to protect operator from broken cut-off wheel
fragments and accidental contact with cut-off wheel.
The arbour size of the cut-off wheel and the flange must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Check cut-off wheels before use. The cut-off wheel must be
properly mounted and turn freely. Perform a test run for at
least 30 seconds without load. Do not use damaged, out of
round or vibrating cut-off wheels.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
size and shape for your selected cut-off wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the cutting wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
When cutting metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care
that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of
fire, no combustible materials should be located in the
vicinity (spark flight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Do not use a damaged cut-off wheel. Before each use
inspect the cut-off wheel for chips and cracks, tear or
excess wear.
After switching off, the machine will not be idle immediately.
(After-running of the cut-off wheel.) Allow the cut-off wheel
to come to a stop after switching off.
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure.
When cut-off wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and wait until the
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the workpiece while the wheel is in
motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. 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.
The workpiece must be fixed.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan
will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
Ensure that the machine is always stable and secure (e.g.
fixed to a bench)
Long workpieces must be adequately supported.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The Cutting-off Grinder is to be used for cutting metal
sections, metal pipes and metal bars into lengths. The
