Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.

Switching On and Off
To start the power tool, push the On/Off switch
3 forwards.
To lock the On/Off switch 3, press the On/Off
switch 3 down at the front until it latches.
To switch off the power tool, release the On/Off
switch 3 or, if it is locked, briefly push down the
back of the On/Off switch 3 and then release it.
Check grinding tools before using. The
grinding tool must be mounted properly
and be able to move freely. Carry out a test
run for at least one minute with no load. Do
not use damaged, out-of-centre or vibrating
grinding tools. Damaged grinding tools can
burst and cause injuries.
Reduced starting current (GWS 1400)
The electronic reduced starting current limits
the power consumption when switching the tool
on and enables operation from a 13 ampere
fuse.
Constant Electronic Control (GWS 1400)
Constant electronic control holds the speed
constant at no-load and under load, and ensures
uniform working performance.
