Keep all safety precautions and instructions for future reference.

Personal safety

▶ Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the tool for purposes for which it was not intended. Use it only
as directed and when in technically faultless condition.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Only persons who are familiar with it, who have been trained on how to use it safely and who understand
the resulting hazards are permitted to use the product. The product is not intended for use by children.
▶ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the product. Do not use
the product while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating the product can result in serious personal injury.
▶ Maintain a firm grip on the cut-off saw with both hands and position your body and arms to absorb
kickback forces. Always use the auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback
forces or torque reaction during start-up. By adopting suitable precautionary measures the operator
can control the kickback and reaction forces.
▶ The use of cutting tools other than those described in this documentation is not permitted.
▶ For wet cutting, do not use synthetically bonded abrasive wheels unless the wheels have been specified
for such use by the wheel manufacturer.
▶ The use of reducing sleeves and/or knot wheel brushes is not permitted.
▶ The user and persons in the vicinity must wear suitable protective goggles, a hard hat, ear defenders,
protective gloves, protective footwear and light respiratory protection while the tool is in use.
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶ Dust from materials such as paint containing lead, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be
harmful to health. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory or
other diseases to the operator or bystanders. To reduce the amount of dust produced when cutting, we
recommend use of the wet cutting method. Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated. It is advisable
to wear a filter class P2 dust mask. Comply with national regulations applicable to the materials you will
be working with.
▶ Always hold the tool firmly with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean, dry and free
from oil and grease.
▶ If there is an unwanted increase in speed, set the run/stop switch to the "stop" position. Contact Hilti
Service.
▶ Releasing the throttle safety grip when the tool is running at full speed causes the tool to tip forward
slightly due to the braking torque. Be prepared for this and grip the tool securely with both hands on the
grips provided.
▶ Never use the tool without the guard (hood). Adjust the guard to the correct position. The guard must be
securely attached and positioned for maximum safety, so that the smallest possible part of the cut-off
wheel is exposed to the operator. Make sure that sparks created during use do not present a hazard. The
guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, inadvertent contact with the cut-off
wheel and uncontrolled flying sparks.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶ Maintain a firm footing and balance at all times. This will allow you to control the product better, even
in unexpected situations. Avoid unusual postures. When using the product, hold it in such a way that
dust, flying sparks and possible flying fragments of the accessory tool or workpiece cannot hit you. Do
not lean over the cut-off wheel.
