Dust/Chip Extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.

Operation
Start-up
Inserting the battery
Push the charged battery (6) into the base of the power tool
from the front until the battery is securely locked.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch (5) forward.
To lock the on/off switch (5) in position, push the on/off
switch (5) forward and down until it clicks into place.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (5);
or, if the switch is locked, briefly push the on/off switch (5)
backward and down and then release it.
Always check abrasive tools before using them. The
u
abrasive tool must be fitted properly and be able to
move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one
minute with no load. Do not use abrasive tools that are
damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged
abrasive tools can burst apart and cause injuries.
Restart protection
The restart protection feature prevents the power tool from
uncontrolled starting after the power supply to it has been
interrupted.
To restart the tool, set the on/off switch (5) to the off posi-
tion and then switch the power tool on again.
Working Advice
Exercise caution when cutting slots in structural walls;
u
see the "Information on structural design" section.
Clamp the workpiece if it is not secure under its own
u
weight.
Do not load the power tool so heavily that it comes to a
u
stop.
If the power tool has been subjected to a heavy load,
u
continue to run it at no-load for several minutes to
cool down the accessory.
Do not use the power tool with a cut-off stand.
u
If the power tool becomes electrostatically charged, the
built-in electronics will switch the power tool off. Press the
on/off switch (5) again to restart the power tool.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
u
cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Rough grinding
Never use cutting discs for rough grinding.
