Safety instructions
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNING
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR CUTTING-OFF
OPERATION
CUT-OFF MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS
a) The guard provided with the tool must be securely
attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. Position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel. The guard helps to protect operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
b) Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your power
tool. Just because an accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
1500 W Wall chaser_MNL_EWC1500_DFT_Erbauer_GB_V20518_20180706.indd 10 7/6/18 4:05 PM

11
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and y apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of
correct diameter for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage.
f) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot
be adequately guarded or controlled.
g) The arbour size of wheels and anges must
properly t the spindle of the power tool. Wheels
and anges with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
h) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each use,
inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. If power
tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged wheel. After inspecting
and installing the wheel, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load
speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally
break apart during this test time.
1500 W Wall chaser_MNL_EWC1500_DFT_Erbauer_GB_V20518_20180706.indd 11 7/6/18 4:05 PM

i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping ying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of ltrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken wheel may y away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
k) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
l) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
wheel.
m)Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of
your control.
n) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
o) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
p) Do not operate the power tool near ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

q) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling
of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the wheel’s
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a)
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.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the rotating
wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite
to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
1500 W Wall chaser_MNL_EWC1500_DFT_Erbauer_GB_V20518_20180706.indd 13 7/6/18 4:05 PM
r) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

14
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
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.
h) 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.
i) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize 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.
j) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR WALL CHASER
a) The power tool shall not be wet or applied in wet
environment.
b) The voltage of the power source must agree with the
voltage specied on the rating label of the machine.
c) Check the product, its power cord and plug as well as
accessories for damage before each use. Do not use the
product if it is damaged or shows wear.

15
d) Double check that the accessories and attachments are
properly xed. One minute testing running in no-load
condition will be helpful to identify the problems.
e) Keep the handles dry to ensure safe control. Grip the
product securely with two hands so you have full control at
all times.
f) Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and
clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked
air vents may lead to overheating and damage the product.
g) Switch off the power tool immediately if the blade jams. Be
prepared for high reaction torque that can cause kickback.
The blade jams when: the power tool is subject to overload
or it becomes wedged in the wall.
h) Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed
while working by other people entering the working area.
Always let the product come to complete stop before
putting it down.
i) Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure
you can concentrate on the work and have full control over
the product.
j) Always keep the power cord behind the power tool.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
CONSTRUCTION DUST
The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health
Regulations 1st October 2012 now also targets to reduce the
risks associated with silica, wood and gypsum dusts.
Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this
because of the dust that they breathe: silica dust is not just a
nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!
Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things
like sand, sandstone and granite. It is also commonly found in
many construction materials such as concrete and mortar. The
silica is broken into very ne dust (also known as Respirable
Crystalline Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as
cutting, drilling and grinding. Breathing in very ne particles of
crystalline silica can lead to the development of:

• lung cancer
• Silicosis
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
And breathing in ne particles of wood dust can lead to the
development of Asthma. The risk of lung disease is linked to
people who regularly breathe construction dust over a period
of time, not on the odd occasion.
To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on
the amount of these dusts that you can breathe (called a
Workplace Exposure Limit or WEL) when averaged over a
normal working day. These limits are not a large amount of
dust: when compared to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch
of salt:
This limit is the legal maximum; the most you can breathe
after the right controls have been used.
How to reduce the amount of dust?
1. Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of
building products.
2. Use a less powerful tool e.g. a block cutter instead of
angle grinder.
3. Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using
a nail gun to direct fasten cable trays instead of drilling
holes rst.
Please always work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that specially designed to lter out
microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all
time.
For more information, please see the HSE website:

WARNING! Some dust particles created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill and other
construction jobs contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these dusts:
• Work in a well-ventilated.
• Work with approved protective equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed
to lter microscopic particles.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has
been brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome
injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool
manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration
test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to
the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily
basis and the choice of tool.
SEE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN THE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL FOR THE VIBRATION LEVELS OF YOUR TOOL.
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a
minimum level and should be used with the current guidance
on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of use can be difcult and the
HSE website has further information.
1500 W Wall chaser_MNL_EWC1500_DFT_Erbauer_GB_V20518_20180706.indd 17 7/6/18 4:05 PM

18
The declared vibration total value has been measured in
accordance with EN 60745-1 and EN 60745-2-22 and may be
used for compare one tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used in a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING! The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
total value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used:
• How the materials are grinded, cut or drilled.
•If the tool is in good condition and well maintained.
•Use correct accessory for the tool and ensure it is
sharp and in good condition.
• The tightness of the grip on the handles.
•And the tool is being used as intended by its
design and these instructions.
While working with this power tool, hand/arm
vibrations occur. Adopt the correct working
practices in order to reduce the exposure to
vibration. This tool may cause hand-arm vibration
syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

19
WARNING! Identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle such as the times when
the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in
addition to the trigger time).
Note:
•The use of other tools will reduce the users’ total
working period on this tool.
•Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
•Maintain this tool in accordance with these
instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate).
•Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10 ºC or
less. Plan your work schedule to spread any high
vibration tool use across a number of days.
HEALTH SURVEILLANCE
All employees should be part of an employer’s health
surveillance scheme to help identity any vibration related
diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression and
help employees stay in work.
VIBRATION AND NOISE REDUCTION
To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emission, limit
