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 over the power tool.
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.
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 workpiece.
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 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.
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.
Additional safety warnings
Wear safety goggles.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can
lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.

When working stone, use dust extraction. The vacuum
cleaner must be approved for the extraction of stone
dust. Using this equipment reduces dust-related hazards.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug
when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
Instructions for use
Placement tool
While reading the operating instructions, unfold the
graphics page for the machine and leave it open.
In conjunction with a vacuum cleaner and with firm support
of the cutting guide, the machine is intended to cut or slot
mainly mineral materials such as reinforced concrete,
brickwork and road surfaces without the use of water.
Assembly
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
Dust extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic. Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filterclass respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked. The vacuum cleaner must be
approved for the extraction of masonry dust. STAYER
provides suitable vacuum cleaners.
The machine can be plugged directly into the receptacle
of a STAYER all-purpose vacuum cleaner with remote
starting control. The vacuum cleaner starts automatically
when the machine is switched on.
Mount the elbow 11 (optional) onto the vacuum connection
10 and connect a vacuum hose 12 (accessory). Connect
the vacuum hose 12 with a vacuum cleaner (accessory).
