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.

a) This power tool is intended primarily for
tuckpointing applications and some
small abrasive masonry cut off
applications. Read all safety warnings,
instructions,
specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire

b) This power tool is not recommended for
metal or wood cutting. Operations for
which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.

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.

repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
f) The arbor size of wheels, flanges,
backing pads or any other accessory
must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool. Accessories with arbor 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.

undamaged accessory. After inspecting
and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load
speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during
this test time.
