Additional Safety Rules For Wall Chasers - Clarke CONTRACTOR CON1500WC Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power supply before making any
adjustments, changing accessories. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. 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.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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.
8. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical component parts.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR WALL CHASERS

1. Always use the guard provided. The guard must be securely attached to
the wall chaser and positioned for maximum safety so the least amount of
cutting disc is exposed towards the operator. Position yourself and any
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating discs. The guard helps to
protect the operator from broken disc fragments and accidental contact
with the disc.
2. The rated speed of the cutting discs must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool. Cutting discs running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
3. The arbor size of the cutting discs and flanges must correctly fit the spindle
of the wall chaser. Discs with arbor holes that do not match the
components of the wall chaser will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
