Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in
order to fi nd out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the
arbour and vulcanized fi bre grinding disk), signifi cant
contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder

ground fault interrupter must be connected in series. If the ground
fault interrupter trips the machine must be sent for service.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.

BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the
battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of
overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after
used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from
the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away
from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
