GSR 18 VE-2/GSR 24 VE-2:
Use the auxiliary handle supplied with the
power tool. Loss of control over the power
tool can cause personal injury.
When working with the power tool, always
hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.

GSR 18 VE-2/GSR 24 VE-2:
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage.
Switch off the power tool immediately when
the tool insert jams. Be prepared for high re-
action torque that can cause kickback. The
tool insert jams when:
– the power tool is subject to overload or
– it becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an oper-
ation where the cutting tool may run into
hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator.
Hold the power tool with a firm grip. High re-
action torque can briefly occur while driving in
and loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.

Take protective measures when dust can de-
velop during working that is harmful to one's
health, combustible or explosive. Example:
Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic.
Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip ex-
traction when connectable.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
Always wait until the power tool has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the
On/Off switch is in the off position before in-
serting battery pack. Carrying the power tool
with your finger on the On/Off switch or in-
serting the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-cir-
cuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g.,
also against continuous sun irradiation
and fire. There is danger of explosion.
