English
g)
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
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.
h)
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.
i)
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.
j)
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

Operate the power tool at voltages specified on its
nameplate.
If using the power tool at a higher voltage than
the rated voltage, it will result in abnormally fast
motor revolution and may damage the unit and
the motor may burn out.
