If any of the symptoms become evident, seek
immediate medical advice.
• The measurement and assessment of
human exposure to hand-transmitted
vibration in the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and
BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002
• Many factors can influence the actual
vibration level during operation e.g. the
work surfaces condition and orientation
and the type and condition of the machine
being used. Before each use, such factors
should be assessed, and where possible
appropriate working practices adopted.
Managing these factors can help reduce
the effects of vibration:
Handling
• Handle the machine with care, allowing
the machine to do the work.
• Avoid using excessive physical effort on
any of the machines controls.
• Consider your security and stability,
and the orientation of the machine
during use.
Work Surface
• Consider the work surface material; its
condition, density, strength, rigidity and
orientation.
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. The need
to identify safety measures and to protect
the operator 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 the tool is switched
off, when it is running idle, in addition to
trigger time).

while operating power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
(2.3)
2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the 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.
(2.4)
3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Personal Safety].
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating

qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
(2.7)
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When using this machine, dust
particles may be produced. In some instances,
depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful.
If you suspect that paint on the surface
of material you wish to cut contains lead,
seek professional advice. Lead based paints
should only be removed by a professional
and you should not attempt to remove it
yourself. Once the dust has been deposited
on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. As
some materials can produce dust that may
be hazardous to your health, we recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
(<2.8)
WARNING: the operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in severe
eye damage. Before beginning power tool
operation, always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shield or a full face shield
where necessary. (2.8>)

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Always disconnect the Disc Cutter
from the mains supply before changing discs,
servicing, cleaning or adjusting the Disc Cutter.
• Keep your hands away from cutting area and
the cutting disc. Keep your second hand on
the auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the machine, they cannot
come into contact with the diamond disc.
• Never engage the spindle lock button while
the machine is running. Serious damage could
occur to the machine and potentially a very
hazardous situation arise for the operator.
• Only use diamond discs or other approved
cutting discs as specified by the manufacturer.
Do not operate the cutter while applying
water. The cutting discs are ‘dry cut’ discs.
• Always check the diamond disc before
starting the machine. If it is cracked, broken
or bent, do not use it. Carefully start the
machine and check for any unusual noises,
vibration or other abnormalities.
• Be careful when cutting metal. Using the
diamond disc to cut metal (reinforcing rods
embedded in concrete) will shorten its
service life and could lead to disc damage.
• Allow the Cutting Disc to reach full speed
before beginning a cut. Start working only
when maximum speed is reached.
• Do not use excessive force. Excessive force
overloads the motor and reduces working
efficiency and service life. Always cut concrete,
tile or stone to a maximum cutting depth of
50mm or less. If the cutting depth is more than
50mm, cut the workpiece 2 or 3 times. If the
workpiece is cut with a cutting depth of more
than 50mm, the service life of the diamond
disc will be re¬duced and the motor may seize.
• Install the dust extraction port cover when
a dust collection hose is not in use. During
cutting operations if sparks could be
generated, cover the dust extraction port
with its rubber cap and be sure to wear
protective glasses.
• Never use a damaged or incorrect arbor
bolt or disc flanges. The disc flanges and
arbor bolt were specially designed for your
machine to provide optimum performance
and safety of operation.
• This saw is equipped with an approved cord
and plug for its intended Country of use. Do
not alter or modify the power cord. If the
moulded plug or the power cord is damaged
in any way it must be replaced with an
identical type by a competent technician.
• WARNING: This machine must not be used to
cut any material that may contain asbestos. If
the presence of asbestos is suspected, consult
the relevant authorities for advice.

CUTTING ADVICE
PRE-CUTTING ADVICE
• Ensure that the power supply matches the requirements
specified on the machines rating plate.
• Ensure that the machines trigger switch is in the ‘OFF’
position. If the machine is connected to a power source with
the trigger switch in the ‘ON’ position, the machine could
start operating immediately with the possibility of a serious
accident occurring.
• If an extension cable is required it must be a suitable type
for use outdoors and so labelled.
• The manufacturers instructions should be followed when
using an extension cable.
• Route any extension cable so that it does not pose a trip (or
any other) hazard to the operator or any bystanders.
WHEEL GUARD ADJUSTMENT
The Wheel Guard is adjustable and should be positioned to
provide the operator with the best combination of personal
protection and visibility of the cutting area.
WARNING: Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the
power supply before adjusting the Wheel Guard.
• Loosen the Wheel Guard locking knob and rotate the Guard
to the required position. FIG. 6
• Securely tighten the Wheel Guard locking knob to lock the

ES
CUTTING ADVICE
Mark out all the cutting lines on the workpiece using suitable
media – pencil, crayon, chalk etc. All cutting lines should be
clear and readily visible.
• If possible support the workpiece in such a way that it is
possible to predict what will happen, and that the cut will
remain stable and open while cutting. (FIG. 7)
• Always align the diamond wheel with a pre-marked cutting
line before beginning operations, but ensure that the
diamond wheel is not touching the workpiece.
• Switch the machine ‘ON’ and allow the blade to reach its full
operational speed.
• Gently feed the blade into the workpiece. Cutting
performance is best when you cut straight ahead along the
pre-marked cutting line. Do not cut a depth of greater than
50mm (2”). FIG. 8 If a cut of greater than 50 mm (2”) is
required make several passes.
• Cut smoothly, allowing the machine to work without forcing
the blade.
WARNING: Do not attempt to cut curved or zig zag lines.
Never use the side of the blade as a cutting surface. Never use
to perform inclination cutting.
• Do not apply water or coolant to the diamond blade.
• Move the blade slowly backwards and forwards and try to
achieve a small contact area between the blade and the
workpiece being cut. This reduces the temperature of the
blade and ensures efficient cutting.
• If the blade seizes or there is any abnormal noise,
immediately turn the power ‘OFF’ and investigate the
cause. Determine the cause of any noise or stoppage. Only
recommence cutting if it is safe to do so.
• Feed the machine down in line with the blade. Sideways
pressure on the blade disc can damage it and can be very
dangerous.
