Use and Care Manual

2.5 Cutting work using cutting discs
▶ Use only cutting discs with a rated maximum permissible speed that’s at least as high as the highest
spindle speed.
▶ Check that the outside diameter and the thickness of the cutting disc comply with the capacity rating of
the product.
▶ Never use cutting discs that are damaged, run untrue or vibrate.
▶ Do not use damaged diamond cutting discs (cracks in the steel disc, broken or polished segments,
damaged arbor hole, bent or distorted steel disc, heavy discoloration due to overheating, steel disc worn
away beneath the segments, diamond segments with no lateral overhang, etc.).
▶ Do not use toothed accessory cutting tools (e.g. toothed saw blades).
▶ When fitting the cutting disc, always take care to ensure that the disc’s specified direction of rotation
corresponds to the direction of rotation of the spindle.
▶ The cutting disc and flange or any other accessory must fit the arbor of the product exactly. Cutting
discs or accessories with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the product will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
▶ Always use an undamaged clamping flange of the correct diameter which fits the cutting disc used.
The correctly fitting clamping flange supports the cutting disc and thus reduces the possibility of disc
breakage.
▶ Guide the product smoothly and do not apply lateral pressure to the cutting disc. Always bring the cutting
disc into contact with the workpiece at right angles. Don’t attempt to alter the line of cut by applying
lateral pressure or by bending the cutting disc while cutting is in progress.
▶
Wear protective gloves when changing the cutting disc as the disc will get hot during use.
▶ Abrasive cutting discs which are used for wet cutting must be used up the same day as long periods of
exposure to moisture have a negative effect on the strength of the disc.
▶ Observe the expiry date for resin-bonded cutting discs and don’t use the discs after this date.
2.6 Transport and storage
▶ Switch the product off before transporting it.
▶ Remove the cutting disc from the product after use. The cutting disc may suffer damage during transport
with the disc fitted.
▶ Handle the cutting disc carefully and store it in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
▶ Always store and transport the product in an upright position, not lying on its side.
▶ Do not transport the product by crane.
▶ Store the product in a secure place when not in use. Products which are not in use must be stored in a
dry, high place or locked away out of reach of children.
▶ When laying the product down, make sure that it stands securely.
▶ After use, allow the product to cool down before packing it away or placing a cover over it.
▶ Store gasoline and oil in a well-ventilated room in fuel containers that comply with regulations.
