When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually

breaks. When the rotary file, high-speed cutter or tung-

sten carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and

you could lose control of the tool.

Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive

cutting-off operations

uUse only wheel types that are recommended for your

power tool and only for recommended applications.

For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off

wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peri-

pheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may

cause them to shatter.

uFor threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only un-

damaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder

flange that are of correct size and length. Proper man-

drels will reduce the possibility of breakage.

uDo not “jam” a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-

sure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of

cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and

susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the

cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

uDo not position your hand in line with and behind the

rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of opera-

tion, is moving away from your hand, the possible kick-

back may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool

directly at you.

uWhen wheel is pinched, snagged 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 cut-

off 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 pinching

or snagging.

uDo 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.

uSupport panels or any oversized workpiece to minim-

ize 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.

uUse extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into ex-

isting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel

may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects

that can cause kickback.

Additional safety information

uDo not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have

cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-

ing.

uSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with

clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by

hand.

uThis power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.

It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-

bench, for example.

uIn case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-

pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-

plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical

attention should you experience any adverse effects. The

vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

uDo not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-

ing.

uThe battery can be damaged by pointed objects such

as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.

An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to

burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

uOnly use the battery with products from the manufac-

turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the

battery against dangerous overload.

Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against

continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water

and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and

short-circuiting.

uCaution! When using the power tool with Bluetooth®, a

fault may occur in other devices and systems, aero-

planes and medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, hearing

aids). Also, damage to people and animals in the im-

mediate vicinity cannot be completely excluded. Do

not use the power tool with Bluetooth® in the vicinity of

medical devices, petrol stations, chemical plants,

areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere or in

blasting areas. Do not use the power tool with

Bluetooth® in aircraft. Avoid using the product near

your body for extended periods.

The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trade-
