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.

tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS FOR CUT-OFF SAWS

1. IMPORTANT: You should not operate this machine unless you are thoroughly

familiar with metal cutting saws. If there is any doubt whatsoever, you

should consult a qualified person.

2. Ensure the cutting disc is securely mounted in accordance with these

instructions before connecting to a power supply.

3. DO NOT over tighten the cutting disc. This can cause stress and could lead

to the cutting disc shattering when under load.

4. Always check the cutting disc for cracks before use. Never use discs that

are chipped, cracked or otherwise defective.

5. Before switching the machine on, always ensure the work is properly

secured, always use the vice, never present a workpiece by hand.

6. Make all adjustments with the power off.

7. When starting a cut, always ease the tool into the work. A harsh or sudden

impact could shatter the abrasive disc.

8. Ensure the cutting disc reaches maximum speed before beginning a cut.

9. Never use the machine with the guards removed or not in their correct

position.

10. Ensure you use the correct type of cutting disc for the type of material

being cut. Never use a toothed saw blade in a machine designed to use a

cutting disc. Metal cutting & masonry cutting discs are available from your

Clarke dealer. NEVER cut magnesium, wood, or non-ferrous metals.

11. Do not perform cutting in explosive atmospheres and environments where

sparks could cause fire or explosion.
