machine firmly – the abrasive wheel
must not touch any objects or the ground

unit. Do not allow other persons to be
near the machine.
Switch on as described in the Instruction
Manual – see "Switching on the

After releasing the trigger switch, the
abrasive wheel keeps on running for a
while – danger of injury due to coasting
effect!
During operation
Use the cut-off machine only for hand-
held cutting.
Ensure you always have a firm and
secure footing.
Always hold the cut-off machine firmly
with both hands: Right hand on the rear
handle – even if you are left-handed. To
ensure reliable control, wrap your
thumbs tightly around the handlebar and
handle.
When a cut-off machine with an abrasive
cutting wheel rotating is moved in the
direction of the arrow, a force is
produced which causes the machine to
tip sideways.
The object to be parted-off has to be
firmly supported. Always guide the cut-
off machine towards the workpiece –
never in reverse.
Set the abrasive cutting wheel guard so
that particles of material are guided
away from the user and cut-off machine.
Note the direction of travel of the
abraded particles of material.
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, switch off the machine
immediately, move the locking lever to
ƒ and remove the battery.
Keep the working area clear – bear in
mind obstacles, holes and pits.
This cut-off machine can be used for
work in the rain or wet. Allow the cut-off
machine or battery to dry out separately
if they are wet after use.
Do not leave the cut-off machine
outdoors in the rain.
Take care on ice, water, snow, on slopes
or uneven ground, etc. – risk of slipping!
Never work alone – always stay in
earshot of other persons who can help in
an emergency.
