ASSEMBLY

WARNING! ENSURE THE TOOL IS TURNED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.

Unpacking

Remove foam packaging materials and using the carry handle, carefully lift the mitre saw from its box and place it on a level work surface.
Release the cutting head from its transport position. While holding the head of the saw down release the lockdown pin.

Dust Bag

Squeeze the clamp at the end of the dust bag, and place it over the dust extraction port.

Note: The dust extraction port can block easily with dust and requires to be periodically cleaned. For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full. This allows better air flow through the bag. Dust bags will not collect all the saw dust generated by the mitre saw. For best results a dust extractor should be used in place of the dust bag.

Material Clamp
The material clamp will assist in securing timber when making cuts. The clamp can be mounted on either the left or right.
Note: Use the locking knobs to secure the material clamp.

When performing a bevel or compound cut, the material clamp should be positioned on the right-hand side of the fence.

Material Support Bars

Align a material support bar with the holes in the mitre saw base.
Use the provided 5mm hex key to tighten this in place.
Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the other side.

SETUP & ADJUSTMENTS

Securing The Mitre Saw
The base of the saw has four mounting holes (1 in each corner) that can be used to mount it to a workbench or mitre saw stand. Use four bolts (not included) to secure it in place.

Note: If required, the Mitre Saw can be mounted onto a 13mm piece (or thicker) of plywood which can then be clamped to the workbench or mitre saw stand. This provides the flexibility to transport the Mitre Saw to other work areas.

Mitre Angle Adjustments

Loosen mitre table lock.
Rotate the mitre table to the desired mitre angle using the mitre angle scale. Note: The mitre table features positive click stops at 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 35°, 40° and 45° for quick setting of common mitre angles.
Secure the desired table angle by turning the mitre table lock clockwise.

WARNING! ENSURE THE MITRE TABLE LOCK IS TIGHT BEFORE MAKING A CUT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE MITRE TABLE MOVING DURING OPERATION & CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

Bevel Angle Adjustment

Loosen the bevel lock.
Tilt the cutting head to the desired bevel angle.
Note: The material clamp cannot be used on the left side of the mitre saw whilst bevel cutting.
Tighten the bevel lock to lock the angle in place.

WARNING! ENSURE THE BEVEL LOCK IS TIGHT BEFORE MAKING A CUT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE CUTTING HEAD MOVING DURING THE OPERATION & CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

Fence
The fence holds the workpiece in a fixed position while the table and or the blade assembly are adjusted at a mitre or bevel angle.
Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the fence when bevel or compound mitre cutting. Always make a dry run with the saw turned off and check clearance.
To make accurate cuts, the fence must be perpendicular (at a 90° angle) to the saw blade. The fence may become misaligned over time, so always perform a test cut on a scrap piece of the material beforehand. Follow the steps below to re-align the fence.

With the saw switched off and unplugged from the power source, set the mitre angle to 0° and loosen the 2 screws on the top of the fence.
Flip the safety guard lever, lower the cutting head and hold it in place using the lock down pin.
Hold a set square against the blade and adjust the fence till it lines up against the square. Note: The square must contact the blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
Tighten the fence screws to lock it in place.

OPERATION

USAGE
WARNING! THE TOOL IS RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH A RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE WITH A RATED RESIDUAL CURRENT OF 30MA OR LESS.

Workpiece
Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one edge securely against the rear fence.
Note: If the workpiece is warped, ensure the concave (curves inward) side is against the rear fence. WARNING! ADEQUATE SUPPORT SUCH AS TABLE EXTENSIONS, SAW HORSES, ETC. MUST BE USED FOR A WORKPIECE THAT IS WIDER OR LONGER THAN THE TABLETOP. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY LEAD TO INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL.

It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece properly and tightly with the material clamp. WARNING! ENSURE THE MATERIAL IS SECURELY CLAMPED BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS. FAILURE TO SECURE THE MATERIAL MAY CAUSE THE WORKPIECE TO FLY OFF AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

Retractable Safety Guard
The lower guard provides protection to your hands and limbs when the mitre saw head is in the up position. During the operation of the saw, when the saw is turned on and you are making a cut, the lower guard retracts over the upper guard as the saw is lowered into the workpiece.

To retract the lower guard, slide the release lever right with your thumb and press the handle down.

Turning The Saw On

To turn the mitre saw on, squeeze the trigger switch.
To turn the mitre saw off, release the trigger switch.

Note: Before performing a cut, ensure the blade is at full speed. Failure to do this may cause the blade to become blunt and cause the blade to lock up.

TYPES OF CUTS

WARNING! DO NOT USE THE MITRE SAW TO CUT METAL OR MASONRY.
WARNING! FOR ALL TYPES OF CUTS, ENSURE THAT THE SAW IS LOCKED INTO POSITION.

Straight Cutting
A straight cut is made by cutting the grain of the workpiece. A 90° straight cut is made with the mitre scale set in the 0°.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! BEFORE CLEANING THE TOOL OR CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE, MAKE SURE THAT IT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING.

Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the mitre saw will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon as this happens. They should be replaced prior to recommencing the use of the mitre saw. Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the mitre saw and therefore not covered under warranty. Continuing to use the mitre saw when carbon brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent damage to the mitre saw. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes need to be replaced, take the mitre saw to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and low-cost replacement. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
Note: A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

Transportation
The lockdown pin is provided for holding the cutting head down whilst transporting or storing the mitre saw. The saw must never be used with the lockdown pin locking the head down. Tighten the slide lock during transportation

Supply Cords
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard.

Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. The use of an extension lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
The power supply for this product should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or less). A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety
a. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. 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 dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
a. 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 the risk of electric shock.
b. 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.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. 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.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a. 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.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. 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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance 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. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 at which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn 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 and/or the battery pack from the power tool before 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 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s 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, 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.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
a. 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.

WARNING! The appliance is not to be used 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. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous materials such as bars, rods studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown at high speed.
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduce the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horse, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the tabletop. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
Always use a clamp or fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the table.
Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
Always remove the plug from the main socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing the blade.
When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shields, ear protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves. Keep hands away from moving parts.
Ensure that there is adequate general or localised lighting. Never saw near combustible liquids or gases. Keep the floor area around the machine level, well maintained and free of loose materials.
Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place. Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly tightened.
Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade. Do not use blades of High-Speed Steel (HSS blades).
If the table insert is damaged or worn, have it replaced by a power tool repairer.
Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in such a way that they could fall into it.
Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable, the metal parts of the saw will become “live”. Switch off the mains and remove the plug immediately.
Do not lock the movable guard in the open position and always ensure that it is working properly, freely rotating and returning to fully cover the teeth of the blade. Ensure that the arm is properly secure when bevelling.
Connect the saw to a dust collection device and ensure that it is operating properly. As the operator of the saw, please make sure that you understand factors that influence exposure to dust, including the type of material to be cut, the importance of local extraction and the proper adjustment of hoods/baffles/chutes of your dust extraction
system. We recommend that you always wear a dust mask when operating this saw.
When cutting long pieces which extend well over the table width, ensure that the ends are adequately supported at the same height as the saw table top. Supports should be positioned in such a way to ensure that the workpiece does not fall to the ground once the cut has been made. A number of supports at regular intervals may be required if the workpiece is extremely long.
Do not force the tool, allow the blade to cut the workpiece. Failure to do so may overheat the blade, reducing the life of the product. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece.
Do not remove any cut-offs from the cutting area until the mitre saw head is in the full upright position, the blade guard is fully enclosing the blade and the blade has come to rest or a complete stop. Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the blade.
Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to rest without assistance. If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch it off before looking up.
Take additional care when trenching (slotting). Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade. Use correctly sharpened saw blades and observe the maximum speed marked on the blade. Only use saw blades with maximum speeds equal to or higher than the maximum speed marked on the tool. Only use (diameter) 210 x (bore) 16 x (kerf) 2.8mm blades with this saw.
This saw is only meant for cutting timber and plastics. Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry. Do not use this saw to cut firewood. When cutting plastics the heat generated by the saw blade tips may melt the plastic. Always do a test cut on scrap material beforehand. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other foreign objects before operating the saw.
Periodically wipe the laser lens gently with a dry soft cloth. Ensure the unit is switched off before doing so. Do not stare directly into the laser. Always check the laser on a workpiece.
The mitre saw can be safely carried by the carrying handle but only once it has been removed from the mains power and secured in the locked down position. Saw blades shall be carried in a holder wherever possible.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
  or energising 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive 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 anyother condition that may affect the power tool’s 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, 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. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
  Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service provider.

ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! 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.

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sanding or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, for and/or serious injury.
Operations such as wire brushing, or polishing are not recommended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apar
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour 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
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or work piece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations . The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the work piece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
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 rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
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. The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional safety instructions for abrasive cutting-off operations:
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.
Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
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.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the work piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized work piece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the work piece on both sides of the wheel.
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.
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
When using abrasive cutting wheels, a cutting guard MUST be fitted to your angle grinder. These cutting guards are available as a spare part and can be ordered through the special orders desk.
