ted in the same way as the protective guard for grinding (9).

Do not operate your power tool without the side
u
handle (8).
Screw the side handle (8) on the left or right of the machine
head depending on how your are working.
Low-vibration auxiliary handle
ably.
Do not make any alterations of any kind to the auxili-
u
ary handle.
Do not continue to use a damaged auxiliary handle.
Hand guard
Always fit the hand guard (15) when working with the
u
cup brush/disc brush (19) or diamond core cutter (20).
Attach the hand guard (15) to the auxiliary handle (8).
Fitting and removing abrasive 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.

After fitting, check that the edge of the abrasive tool
u
(➍) is fitted correctly, i.e. is no higher than the refer-
ence surface (➎). If the edge is higher than the refer-
ence surface, either the holder must be cleaned or the
abrasive tool must not be used.
Before removing the grinding/cutting/flap disc: Make
sure that the power tool has come to a complete stop.
Removing the abrasive tool
➊ Open the lever (3).
➋ The grinding/cutting/flap disc will be released.
➌ The grinding/cutting/flap disc can be removed.

move the application tool.
