Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
u
cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the Off posi-
u
tion when the power supply is interrupted, e.g. when
the battery pack is removed. This prevents uncontrolled
restarting.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Caution! When using the power tool with Bluetooth
u
fault may occur in other devices and systems, aero-
planes and medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, hearing
aids). Also, damage to people and animals in the im-
mediate vicinity cannot be completely excluded. Do
not use the power tool with Bluetooth
medical devices, petrol stations, chemical plants,
areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere or in
blasting areas. Do not use the power tool with
®
Bluetooth in aircraft. Avoid using the product near
your body for extended periods.
