GCY 42, the following connectivity functions are available
for the power tool:
– Registration and personalisation
– Status check, output of warning messages
– General information and settings
– Management
Read the corresponding operating instructions for informa-
tion about the Bluetooth® Low Energy Module GCY 42.
The connection of the power tool with the app must be con-

Practical advice

The power tool with inserted Bluetooth
u
Module GCY 42 is equipped with a radio interface.
Local operating restrictions, e.g. in aircraft or hospit-
als, must be observed.
In areas where the Bluetooth® wireless technology is
u
not allowed to be used, the Bluetooth® Low Energy
Module GCY 42 and the button cell must be removed.
Exercise caution when cutting slots in structural walls;
u
see the "Information on structural design" section.
Clamp the workpiece if it is not secure under its own
u
weight.
Do not load the power tool so heavily that it comes to a
u
stop.

If the power tool has been subjected to a heavy load,
u
continue to run it at no-load for several minutes to
cool down the accessory.
Do not use the power tool with a cut-off stand.
u
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
u
cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
If the power tool becomes electrostatically charged, the
built-in electronics will switch the power tool off. Press the
on/off switch (5) again to restart the power tool.
Rough grinding
Never use cutting discs for rough grinding.
u
The best rough grinding results are achieved with a set angle
of 30° to 40°. Move the power tool back and forth with mod-
erate pressure. This will ensure that the workpiece does not
become too hot or discolour and that grooves are not
®
Low Energy
formed.
Flap disc
The flap disc (accessory) enables you to machine curved
surfaces and profiles.
Flap discs have a considerably longer service life, lower
noise levels and lower sanding temperatures than conven-
tional grinding discs.
Cutting metal
Always use the protective guard for cutting (12) when
u
cutting bonded abrasives.
When carrying out abrasive cutting, use a moderate feed
that is suited to the material being machined. Do not exert
pressure on the cutting disc and do not tilt or swing the
power tool.
