SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Move the blade slowly forwards and backwards to achieve a small contact area between the blade and the material to be cut. This reduces the temperature of the blade and ensures effective cutting. • Feed down the machine in line with the blade. Pressure from the side can damage the blade and is very dangerous.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Pinching/rotation If the cut is pressed together this can lead to jamming. The machine can be pulled down suddenly with a very powerful jerk. How to avoid pinching Support the work piece in such a way that the cut remains open during the cutting operation and when the cut is finished.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Ensure the blade it not cracked or damaged in any other way. Test the abrasive disc by hanging it on your finger and tapping it lightly with a screwdriver or the like. If the disc does not produce a resonant, ringing sound it is damaged. Diamond blades Diamond blades consist of a steel body provided with segments that contain industrial diamonds.
