5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
– 10 –
e) When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 pinching or snagging.
f) 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.
g) Support panels or any oversized workpiece 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 workpiece on both
sides of the wheel.
h) 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.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation.
Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles
can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using them.
During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or
wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
c) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny
wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes and
may become embedded in your skin.
Important safety instructions for battery cartridge
a) Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
b) Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
c) If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result
in a risk of over-heating, possible burns and even an explosion.
d) If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with clear water and seek medical attention
right away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
e) Do not short the battery cartridge:
a) Do not touch the terminals with any conductive material.
b) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with other metal objects such as nails,
coins, etc.
c) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow, over-heating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
f) Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50°C (122°F).
g) Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
h) Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
i) Do not use a damaged battery.
