tool can be fitted.
Protective guard for cutting
For cutting, always use the protective guard for
u
cutting (11) or the protective guard for grinding (10)

Provide sufficient dust extraction when cutting stone.
u
The protective guard for cutting (11) is fitted in the same
way as the protective guard for grinding (10).

fortably.
Fitting and removing abrasive tools
Follow the special assembly instructions for
X-LOCK application tools.
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
u
cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Only use original X-LOCK application tools that carry the
u
X-LOCK logo. A maintained clamping gauge of max.
1.6 mm can only be guaranteed with original X-LOCK ap-
plication tools. A higher clamping gauge can lead to insec-
ure clamping, potentially causing the clamp tool to come
loose.
X-LOCK application tools do not need additional clamping
u
flanges or support flanges.
Make sure that the application tool and the holder are not
u
deformed and are free from dirt and particles.
Pay attention to the dimensions of the abrasive tools.
Make sure that both X-LOCK catches are open (see figure
below) before fitting the X-LOCK application tool.
If necessary, clean the area between the two X-LOCK
catches.
Fitting the abrasive tool
➊ Place the grinding/cutting/flap disc in a central position
on the X-LOCK holder, parallel to the bearing surface
and with the right side facing up.
➋ Push the disc into the holder.
➌ The disc audibly clicks into place. Do not actuate the
lever (3) when doing so.
