d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-
ing the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source be-
fore making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 un-
trained users.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infirm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and infirm persons.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTER
1. Do not use a grinding wheel.
2. Do not use a diamond saw blade not in compliance
with the regulations of the manufacturer.
3. Do not use a damaged, deformed or cracked cutting
wheel.
4. Do not operate the cutter without a fixed guard.
5. Do not start the cutter when the cutting wheel is in
contact with a worker.
6. After the cutter is powered off and before the cutting
wheel has stopped completely, do not put down the
cutter or make the diamond saw blade to stop with
a forced external force.
7. Before replacing the cutting wheel, adjusting the
cutting depth or the water pipe, or repairing the
cutter, unplug the power plug from the power
supply and make the diamond saw blade still.
8. If the cutter is designed with a residual current
operated protective device, inspect the operation
reliability of the residual current operated protective
device before operating the cutter.
9. When operating the cutter at a place where the
diamond saw blade may cut the concealed wire or
its own cord, hold the insulating holding surface of
the power tool. The contact between the diamond
saw blade and any live wires may make the exposed
metal parts of a power tool electrified and the
operator suffers electric shock.
10. Be extremely careful when "blind cutting" is done
in a wall or another dead zone. The diamond saw
blade may cut the gas pipe, the water pipe, the cord
or other objects that may hereby cause a bounce.
WARNING
a) Always keep your hands from the cutting area and
the diamond saw blade. If you hold the cutter with
both hands, you will not be cut by the diamond saw
blade.
b) Do not touch the space below a workpiece. The fixed
guard cannot protect the diamond saw blade below
the workpeice.
c) Always use a diamond saw blade with well matched
size and axis shape (diamond-shaped or round). Poor
matching between the diamond saw blade and the
clamping part of the cutter may result in an eccentric
operation and further loss of control.
d) Do not use any washers or bolts that are damaged
or have incorrect sizes. This may result in loss of
control.
WARNING
This symbol is given in marking plate as the
warning "Always wear eye protection".
