Connecting a vacuum cleaner Optional accessory WARNING: Never vacuum metal particles generated by operation. Metal particles generated by such operation are so hot that they ignite dust and the filter inside the vacuum cleaner. To avoid dusty environment caused by masonry cutting, use a dust collecting wheel guard and a vacuum cleaner. Refer to the instruction manual attached to the dust collecting wheel guard for assembling and using it. 1 2 OPERATION WARNING: It should never be necessary to force the tool. The weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel breakage. WARNING: ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while grinding. WARNING: NEVER hit the workpiece with the wheel. WARNING: Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kickback. WARNING: NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other saw blades. Such blades when used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury. WARNING: Continued use of a worn-out wheel may result in wheel explosion and serious personal injury. CAUTION: Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with the workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator. CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during operation. CAUTION: After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the tool down.
