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 for Wire Brush Operation
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 imbedded in your skin.

at all times. Do not attempt to use this tool without sufficiently securing the workpiece first.
•
Hold the tool securely, keeping hands well away from rotating parts. For most
purposes, it is most convenient to grip the tool like a pen
•
If possible hold the tool with both hands when performing cutting operations
•
Practice using the tool with scrap material before starting a job. Be aware that
different accessories will require different techniques, and may require different
speed settings
•
Applying excess pressure does not result in faster or more efficient performance. If
the pressure applied to the tool has a noticeable effect on the speed of the tool then
reduce the pressure. Overloading the tool will reduce its service life

before cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
Cleaning
WARNING: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye protection and gloves
when cleaning this tool.
•
Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear
quickly, and shorten the device's service life
•
Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
•
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not sufficient, a mild
detergent on a damp cloth is recommended
•
Water must never come into contact with the tool
•
Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it
•
If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
(where applicable)
Maintaining the collet
Note: Collets are precisely engineered components. They need to remain undamaged, in
order to provide secure hold of the inserted accessories. If properly maintained collets will
provide years of service.
•
Remove the Collet Nut (1) and Collet (8) in regular intervals and/or after heavy use,
and clean thoroughly. Also remove swarf and dust from around the spindle and thread,
using a soft brush and/or compressed air
WARNING: DO NOT use sharp implements, such as pins or screwdrivers to remove
deposits from inside or around the Collet (8).
Brushes
•
Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
•
Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible
sparking
•
To replace the brushes, remove the brush access plugs from both sides of the
machine. Remove the worn brushes and replaced with new. Replace brush access
plugs. Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an authorised service centre
