Additional Specific Safety Rules for
Chopsaws
• Always wear regular working gloves while
operating this tool.
• Keep hands away from the cutting disc.
Never cut workpieces that require manual
action closer than 15 cm from the rotating
cutting disc.
• Do not cut workpieces less than 1.2 mm
in thickness when using the cutting disc
supplied with this tool.
• Do not operate this tool without guards in
place.
• Do not perform any operation freehand. Use
the material clamp to clamp the workpiece
securely.
• Never reach in the back of the cutting disc.
• Always position the tool on a flat, stable
surface that is well maintained and free of
loose materials, e.g. chips and cut-offs.
• Before using, inspect the cutting disc for
cracks or flaws. Discard the cutting disc if
a crack or flaw is evident or if it is otherwise
defective.
• Make sure the cutting disc is not contacting
the workpiece before the tool is switched on.
• In operation, avoid bouncing the cutting disc
or giving it rough treatment. If this occurs,
stop the tool and inspect the cutting disc.
• Do not operate the tool while standing in line
with the cutting disc. Keep other persons
away from the work area.
• Be aware of cutting chips and the material
being cut. They may be sharp and hot. Allow
cut off parts to cool before handling.
• The spark deflector becomes hot during
use. Avoid touching or adjusting the spark
deflector immediately after operation.
• Switch off the tool and wait for the cutting
disc to stop before moving the workpiece or
changing the settings.
• After switching off, never attempt to stop the
cutting disc by pressing against the side of
the disc.
• Do not use cutting fluids. These fluids could
ignite or cause electrical shock.
• Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
• Use the cutting discs recommended by the
manufacturer only.
• The max. allowable speed of the cutting disc
must always be equal to or greater than the
no-load speed of the tool specified on the
nameplate.
• Do not use circular saw blades or any other
toothed blades with this tool. Serious injury
may result.

• Do not use cutting discs that do not conform
to the dimensions stated in the technical data.
• Ensure that the abrasive cutting disc is
correctly fitted and tightened before use.
• Read the operating instructions supplied by
the wheel manufacturer.
• Let the tool run at no-load in a safe position for
at least 30 seconds. If there is a considerable
vibration or if any other defect occurs, stop the
tool and check it to determine the cause.
• Do not use cutting discs for side grinding.
• Do not cut concrete, brick, tile or ceramic
materials.
• Do not cut wood, plastic or synthetic materials.
• Do not cut cast-iron materials.
• Never cut magnesium materials.
• Do not cut electrically live material.
• Use this tool in a well-ventilated area. Do
not operate the tool near flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Sparks or hot chips from
cutting or arcing motor brushes may ignite
combustible materials.
• Regularly clear the ventilation slots when
working in dusty conditions. If it should
become necessary to clean the slots,
remember to unplug the tool first.
• Always store cutting discs well-protected and
in a dry place, out of reach of children.
• Faults in the machine, including guards
or cutting discs, should be
reported as soon as they are
discovered.
• Only use chop saw wheel of a
max. thickness of 3.1 mm and
a max. diameter of 355 mm.
WARNING: Use of this tool can
generate dust containing chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Use
appropriate respiratory protection.
• Always secure the workpiece properly
before cutting operation. Workpieces longer
than 1.0 m shall be supported by suitable
additional table, buck or roller table.
• Consider that the wheel continues to rotate
after the machine is switched off.
• To prevent loss of control always fix the
machine to a bench using screw-clamps or
bolts of sufficient length and strength.
The following factors are of influence to noise
production:
– The material to be cut.
– The type of the cutting disc.
– The feed force.
