Wall chaser MS 1706 FR
 Keep your body out of the area into
which the electric power tool moves
when a recoil occurs.
Kickback propels the electric power tool
in the direction opposite to the movement
of the sanding disc at the point of pinching.
 Work especially carefully near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Prevent the insertion
tool from recoiling off the workpiece and
jamming.
The rotating insertion tool has a tendency to
snag on corners, sharp edges or if it bounces.
This causes a loss of control or kickback.
 Do not use a chain or toothed saw blade.
Such insertion tools frequently cause
a kickback or the loss of control of the
electric power tool.
 Avoid blocking the cutting-off wheel
or exerting too high contact pressure.
Do not make excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting-off wheel increases
its stress and the susceptibility to twisting
or blocking and therefore the possibility
of a kickback or the grinding tool breaking.
 If the cutting-off wheel jams or you
interrupt work for any other reason,
switch the electric power tool off and
hold it steady until the wheel has come
to a standstill. Never attempt to pull the
still rotating wheel out of the workpiece,
otherwise a kickback may occur.
Establish and eliminate the cause of the jam.
 Do not switch the electric power tool
on again while it is in the workpiece.
First let the cutting-off wheel reach full
speed before you carefully continue
cutting.
Otherwise the wheel may jam, jump out
of the workpiece or cause a kickback
if the electric power tool is in the workpiece
when switched on.
 Support plates or large workpieces
to reduce the risk of a cutting-off wheel
jamming and causing a kickback.
Large workpieces may sag under their own
weight. The workpiece must be supported
on both sides of the wheel, namely near
the cutting-off wheel and along the edge.
 Be particularly careful when making
"pocket cuts" in existing walls or other
secluded areas.
When the cutting-off wheel is inserted, it may
cause a kickback if it cuts into gas or water
lines, electric cables or other objects.

Additional safety instructions

 Caution when working in unknown
areas!
Electric, gas or water lines below the surface
may be damaged.
Use suitable detectors to scan the work area
beforehand.
 Caution when working in supporting
walls! Observe structural calculations!
Before starting work, obtain the permission
of the structural engineer, architect or site
manager responsible.
The permitted chasing depth depends on
the chasing length, wall thickness and
building material.
 Do not work in materials which release
hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos).
 During operation the wall chaser must
be connected to a dust extractor.
The extraction system must be authorised
to extract stone dust.
An authorised special extractor must
be used to extract particularly harmful,
carcinogenic, dry dust. The mains voltage
and the voltage specifications on the rating
plate must correspond.
