future reference.
Before using the power tool, carefully read through
and familiarise yourself with all the enclosed safety
information and the Operating Instructions. Keep
all enclosed documentation for future reference,
and pass on your power tool only together with this

The term "power tool" used in the safety instruc-
tions refers to power tools (with a mains cable)
operated from the mains power supply and
battery-operated power tools (without a mains
cable).
Pull the plug out of the plug socket and/or
remove the battery before adjusting settings or
changing accessories. Many accidents are
caused by power tools starting up unexpectedly.
Set up the grinder stand correctly before
installing the power tool. Correct assembly will
eliminate the risk of the stand collapsing during
use.
Install the power tool securely in the grinder
stand prior to use. Slipping of the power tool in
the grinder stand can result in loss of control.
Place the grinder stand on a firm, flat, hori-
zontal surface. If the grinder stand can slide or
wobble, the power tool cannot be guided evenly
and safety.

tion to all parts of the text that are

doubt, wear protective clothing.
