7. Putting the GROOVER 500-LP into operation
7.1 Work environment and safety
• Check that the guard housing is in perfect working condition prior to each use. Do not use
the grooving machine if the cutter blade fails to retract automatically behind the guard
hood when you release the pressure on the handle. Never bypass the safety mechanism. If the
grooving machine ever falls onto the floor, check the function of the guard housing.
• Check the condition and function of the guard housing springs. If the guard housing and
springs are not in perfect working condition, have the grooving machine serviced prior to
use. Damaged parts, tacky deposits, or chip buildup will make the guard housing sluggish.
• Do not place the grooving machine on the workbench or floor unless the guard housing is
covering the cutter blade. If the cutter blade is allowed to coast unprotected, the grooving machine
will move in the opposite direction to cut and slice through anything in its way. Be aware of the
cutter blade coasting time.
• The unit must be monitored continuously during operation. Objects can get caught in the
cutter blade and then propelled away from it.
• Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces whenever there is a risk of the insert
accessory coming into contact with hidden power cables or with the connection cable of
the unit itself. Contact with a live cable will result in a voltage being applied to the metal parts of
the power tool and lead to an electric shock.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
• The GROOVER 500-LP has been designed for an ambient temperature of -10 to 50°C. The unit is
only to be operated within this ambient temperature range.
