sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

SYMBOLOGY
lead from lead-based paint
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to

tion your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kickback
or torque reaction during start-up. The operator
can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.

Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in line with the rotat-
ing wheel. 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,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap
greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Do not “jam” the 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.
•
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring
or objects that can cause kickback.

• Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
• Use only a single wheel. Multiple wheels can wear
unevenly, resulting in kickback and could break and
WARNING
When working in dusty situations,
wear appropriate respiratory pro-
tection or use an OSHA compliant dust extrac-
tion solution.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
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 re-enter 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
minimise 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.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY RULES
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, personal
injury , and product damage due to
a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside
them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as
seawater , certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a
short circuit.
