English
Take a break in good time to avoid
tiredness or exhaustion – risk of
accidents!
Keep out further persons from the
working area – maintain sufficiently large
distance to additional persons to protect
them from noise and flying objects.
If you feel sick, if you have a headache,
vision problems (e. g., your field of vision
gets smaller), hearing problems,
dizziness or inability to concentrate, stop
work immediately – risk of accident!
If the cut-off machine has been exposed
to stress due to improper use (for
example, impact of force by blow and
crash), test the device for safe-to-
operate condition before continuing
work, in every case – see also "Before
start-up". Make sure the safety devices
are working properly. Do not continue
operating the cut-off machine if
damaged. In case of doubt, have the unit
checked by your servicing dealer.
Never touch a rotating abrasive wheel
with your hand or any other part of your
body.
Check the work area. Avoid danger due
to damage to pipes and electric power
lines.
The cut-off machine must not be used in
the vicinity of flammable substances and
combustible gases.
Do not cut into pipes, metal tanks or
other containers if you are not sure that
they do not contain any volatile or
inflammable substances.

Before placing the cut-off machine on
the ground and leaving the cut-off
machine unattended:
Switch off the machine
–
Set locking lever to ƒ
–
Wait until the abrasive wheel has
–
come to a standstill or brake the
abrasive wheel until it comes to a
standstill by carefully touching a
hard surface (e. g., concrete slab)
Remove the battery. If the battery is
–
removed whilst the abrasive wheel
is running, this extends the coasting
effect – risk of injury!
Repeatedly inspect the
abrasive wheel – replace
the wheel if there are visi -
ble cracks, buckling or
other damages (for
example, overheating)
due to breakage – risk of
accident!
In the event of changes in cutting
behavior (e. g., increased vibration,
reduced cutting performance), stop work
and eliminate the causes of the
changes.
An abrasive wheel can become hot
during dry cutting. Do not touch a non-
moving abrasive wheel – risk of burns!
After finishing work
Turn off machine, set the locking lever to
ƒ and remove the battery from the cut-
off machine.
NOTICE
If the battery is not removed, there is the
risk that the plug-in contacts on the cut-
off machine and battery become
corroded. Such corrosion can cause
irreparable damage to the cut-off
machine and battery.
Allow the cut-off machine or battery to
dry out separately if they are wet after
use.
Storage
When the cut-off machine is not in use it
should be parked in such a way that no-
one is endangered. Ensure that the cut-
off machine cannot be used without
authorization.
The cut-off machine must be stored in a
dry room with the locking lever set to ƒ
and only with the battery removed.
NOTICE
If the battery is not removed, there is the
risk that the plug-in contacts on the cut-
off machine and battery become
corroded. Such corrosion can cause
irreparable damage to the cut-off
machine and battery.
Allow the cut-off machine or battery to
dry out separately if they are wet after
use.
Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may
result in vibration-induced circulation
problems in the hands (whitefinger
disease).
