Additional safety instructions

Personal safety
▶ Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Always hold the product with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
▶ Respiratory protection must be worn if the product is used without a dust removal system for work that
creates dust.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ Do not touch rotating parts. Switch the product on only after it is in position at the workpiece. Touching
rotating parts, especially rotating accessory tools, can result in injury.
▶ The product is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special training. Keep
the product out of reach of children.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ The user and the other persons in the vicinity must wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat and ear
protection while the product is in use.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that the battery and installed
accessories are secure.
▶ Keep the air vents clear at all times. Risk of burn injuries due to blocked air vents!
▶ Switch the product on only after you have brought it to the working position.
▶ Wait until the product stops completely before you lay it down.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result in
cuts and burns.

tool will no longer be braked by the motor.
Power tool use and care
▶ Grinding discs must be stored and handled carefully in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
▶ Never use the product without the guard.
▶ Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a bench vise to hold the workpiece in position. The workpiece is
thus held more securely than by hand and both hands remain free to operate the product.
▶ Do not use cut-off wheels for grinding.
▶ Tighten the accessory tool and flange securely. If the accessory tool and flange are not tightened
securely, the accessory tool may work loose from the arbor due to the braking effect of the motor after
switching off.
