uDo not attempt to do curved cutting. 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, which can lead to serious in-

jury.

Safety warnings specific for sanding operations:

uUse proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufac-

turers recommendations, when selecting sanding pa-

per. Larger sanding paper extending too far beyond the

sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause

snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations:

uBe aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush

even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the

wires by applying excessive load to the brush The wire

bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

uIf the use of a guard is specified for wire brushing, do

not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush

with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in dia-

meter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Additional safety information

Wear safety goggles.

The protective guard must not be used for

cutting. With a suitable adapter, the protective

guard can also be used for cutting.

Hold the power tool firmly with both hands

and make sure you have a stable footing. The

power tool can be more securely guided with

both hands.

uUse suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-

den supply lines or contact the local utility company

for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause

fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-

plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.

uDo not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have

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

ing.

uRelease the On/Off switch and set it to the Off posi-

tion when the power supply is interrupted, e.g. when

the battery pack is removed. This prevents uncontrolled

restarting.

uSecure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with

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

hand.

uStore the application tools inside buildings, in a dry,

frost-free room at a uniform temperature.

uRemove the application tools before transporting the

power tool. This will allow you to avoid damage.

uBonded cutting and grinding discs have an expiration

date, after which the discs must no longer be used.

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.
