Safety instructions for abrasive saws

a) The blade guard, which is a part of the power
tool, must be attached securely and set in a
way that ensures maximum safety, i.e. the
smallest possible amount of the grinding tool
is exposed to the operator. Ensure that you
and anyone else in the vicinity remain outside
of the range of the rotating grinding disc. The
blade guard is designed to protect the operator
from fragments and accidental contact with the
grinding tool.
b) Use only diamond-coated cutting discs for
your power tool. Just because you can attach
the accessories to your power tool does not
guarantee they are safe to use.
c) The permissible speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool. Accessories
that rotate faster than the permissible rate can
break and throw pieces into the air.
d) Grinding tools should only be used for the
recommended applications. For example:
Never grind with the side surface of a cutting
disc. Cutting discs are designed to remove
material with the edge of the disc. Any lateral
application of force on these grinding tools can
lead to a breakage.
e) Always use an undamaged clamping flange
of the correct size and shape for the selected
grinding disc. Suitable flanges support the
grinding disc and reduce the risk of a disc
breakage.
f) The external diameter and thickness of the
attachment part used must comply with the
dimensions of the power tool. Incorrectly
dimensioned accessory tools cannot be suffi-
ciently shielded or controlled.
g) Grinding discs and flanges must fit precisely
onto the grinding spindle of your power tool.
Accessory tools which do not fit precisely on
the grinding spindle of the power tool will rotate
unevenly, vibrate severely and can lead to a
loss of control.

h) Do not use damaged grinding discs. Check
the grinding discs for chips and cracks before
each use. If the power tool or grinding disc is
dropped, check to see if either is damaged,
or use an undamaged grinding disc. After
checking and inserting the grinding disc,
ensure that you and any other people in the
vicinity remain outside of the range of the
rotating grinding disc and allow the tool to
rotate at maximum speed for one minute.
Damaged grinding discs usually break during
this test period.
i) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the application, ensure that
you use full face protection, eye protection
or goggles. If required, use a dust mask, ear
muffs, protective gloves or a special apron to
protect you from grindings and material par-
ticles. Protect your eyes from flying debris that
may be created during certain applications.
Dust or filter masks must be used to filter any
dust created by the application. Long-term expo-
sure to loud noise can cause a hearing loss.
j) Ensure that other people remain at a safe dis-
tance to your workspace. Anyone who enters
the workspace must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or bro-
ken accessory tools can fly off and cause injury
– even outside the immediate working area.
k) Hold the appliance only by its insulated grip-
ping surfaces when you are performing work
during which the power tool may hit hidden
power lines or its own power cord. Contact
with a live cable can also make metal parts of
the appliance live and could result in an electric
shock.
l) Keep the power cord away from rotating
tools. If you lose control of the appliance, the
cord may get cut or caught and your hand or
arm could get caught in the rotating accessory
tool.
m) Never remove the power tool before the
accessory tool has come to a complete stop.
The rotating accessory tool could come into
contact with the surface and cause you to lose
control of the power tool.
