GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/
OR SERIOUS INJURY. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. 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.

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 source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. 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.
SERVICE
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR WALL CHASERS
1. Always use guard provided with the tool. The guard must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
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. Cutting discs must be used only for recommended applications. Side forces applied to these
discs may cause them to shatter.
4. The arbor size of the cutting discs and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Discs
and flanges 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.
5. Do not use damaged cutting discs. Before each use, inspect the discs for chips and cracks. If
power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged disc. After
inspecting and installing the disc, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
cutting disc and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute.
6. Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
7. Position the cord clear of the cutting discs. If you lose control of the power tool, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the cutting disc.
8. Never lay the power tool down until the cutting discs have come to a complete stop. The cutting
discs may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
9. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the cutting disc
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged cutting disc. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the opposite direction of the wheels rotation.
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. Never place your hand near the cutting
disc. The wall chaser may kickback over your hand.
2. Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
3. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
4. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control over the power tool.
5. Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to
twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
6. When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion, otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of
wheel binding.
7. Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
restarted in the workpiece.
8. Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause
kickback.
