electric shock and personal injury. Read all these
instructions before attempting to operate this product
and save these instructions.
■ This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
■ Keep work area clear. Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
■ Consider work area environment. Do not expose
tools to rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet locations.
Keep work area well lit. Do not use tools in the presence
of flammable liquids or gases.
■ Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g., pipes, radiators,
ranges, refrigerators).
■ Keep other persons away. Do not let persons,
especially children, be involved in the work, touch the
tool or the extension cord, and keep them away from
the work area.
■ Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a dry locked-up place, out of reach of children.
■ Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was intended.
■ Use the right tool. Do not force small tools to do the
job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes
not intended, for example, do not use circular saws to
cut tree limbs or logs.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery, they can be caught in moving parts. Nonskid footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
■ Use protective equipment. Use safety glasses. Use
face or dust mask if working operations create dust.
■ Connect dust extraction equipment. If the tool is
provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
■ Do not abuse the cord. Never yank the cord to
disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
■ Secure work. Where possible, use clamps or a vice to
hold the work. It is safer than using your hand.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
■ Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instruction for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have
them repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
■ Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing
and when changing accessories such as blades, bits
and cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply.
■ Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it
on.
■ Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure switch is in “off”
position when plugging in.
■ Use outdoor extension leads. When the tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for outdoor
use and so marked.
■ Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common
sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired.
■ Check damaged parts. Before further use of tool, it
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorized service centre unless
otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have
defective switches replaced by an authorized service
centre. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off.
■ Warning. The use of any accessory or attachment
other than the one recommended in this instruction
manual may present a risk of personal injury.
■ Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This
electric tool complies with the relevant safety rules.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons
using original spare parts otherwise this may result in
considerable danger to the user.
SPECIAL SAFETY RULES

secure.
■ Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool
is unplugged from the power supply.
■ Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in

injury.
■ To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible
serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your cutoff machine before connecting it to power supply.
■ Machine should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,

Safety
installing or removing wheels, or when not in use.
■ Check the wheel for fissures and cracks, and test for
normal operation prior to use.
■ Do not use damaged abrasive wheel.
■ Never use a wheel that is too thick to allow outer flange
to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger wheels
will come in contact with the wheel guards, while thicker
wheels will prevent the bolt from securing the wheel on
the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a
serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.
■ Do not remove the machine’s wheel guards. Never
operate the machine with any guard or cover removed.
Make sure all guards are operating properly before
each use.
■ Do not start your abrasive cut-off machine without
checking for interference between the wheel and the
machine base support. Damage may result to the wheel
if it strikes the machine base support during operation
of the machine.
■ Do not attempt to cut wood or masonry with this cut-
off machine. Never cut magnesium or magnesium alloy
with this machine.
■ Do not tighten wheel excessively, since this can cause
cracks.
■ Always ease the abrasive wheel against the work piece
when starting to cut. A harsh impact can break the
wheel.
■ Never cut more than one workpiece at a time. Do not
stack more than one workpiece on the machine base
at a time.
■ To minimize risk of tipping machine, always support
long workpieces.
■ Cutting steel will cause sparks. Do not operate in the
presence of combustible or flammable materials.
■ Never leave tool running unattended. Do not leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
■ Always release the power switch and allow the wheel
to stop rotating before raising it out of the workpiece.
■ Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep hands away
from wheel. Do not reach underneath work or around
or under the wheel while the wheel is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove cut material while wheel is moving.
■ Never stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the wheel.
■ Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the wheel is unintentionally contacted.
■ Never perform any operation “freehand”. Always secure
the workpiece to be cut in the vice.
■ Never hand hold a workpiece. Workpiece will become
very hot while being cut.
■ Cutting hard metal iron stock such as square bar stock
and angle iron.
■ Cutting metal tube and pipe stock.
