are cut through. Consult the structural engineer, ar-
chitect, or person in charge of the building project
before beginning the work.
WARNING
The electric supply voltage must comply with the in-
formation given on the type identification plate on the
power tool. 230 V power tools may also be connected
to a 220 V supply.
WARNING
Always use the side handle with the tool.
WARNING
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece securely.
CAUTION
Working on the material may cause it to splinter. Wear
eye protection and protective gloves. Wear breathing
protection if no dust removal system is used. Splin-
tering material presents a risk of injury to the eyes and
body.
WARNING
Breathing protection must be worn if the power tool
is used without a dust extraction system for work that
creates dust.
WARNING
Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool
on only after bringing it into position at the workpiece.
Touching rotating parts, especially rotating insert tools,
may lead to injury.
CAUTION
The insert tool may get hot during use. Wear protective
gloves when changing insert tools.
WARNING
Reduce the load on the power tool by avoiding tilting
the disc in the kerf when cutting. The disc or wheel
8 Care and maintenance
CAUTION
Disconnect the mains plug from the power outlet.
8.1 Care of the power tool
DANGER
Under extreme conditions, when used for working on
metal, conductive dust may accumulate inside the tool.
This may have an adverse effect on the tool's protective
insulation. Under such conditions, the tool should be
plugged into a ground fault circuit interrupter (RCD)
and use of a stationary dust removal system and
frequent cleaning of the tool's cooling air slots is
recommended.
may otherwise break, or the power tool may kick back or
stall.
CAUTION
Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by re-
laxing your hands and exercising your fingers during
breaks between working.
WARNING
Keep inflammable materials away from the working
area.
7.1 Switching on / off without locking the switch
(DEG 125-D or DEG 150-D)
7.1.1 Switching on
1.
Plug the supply cord into the power outlet.
2.
Slide the on / off switch forward and then press it as
far as it will go.
7.1.2 Switching off
Release the on / off switch.
7.2 Switching on / off (tools with switch lock: DEG
125-D or DEG 150-D)
NOTE
If the tool is unplugged from the electric supply while
the on / off switch is locked in the on position and
subsequently plugged back into the electric supply, the
tool will not restart. The switch lock must be released
while the tool is disconnected from the electric supply
before the supply cord is again plugged into the power
outlet.
7.2.1 Switching on and locking the switch
1.
Plug the supply cord into the power outlet.
2.
Slide the on / off switch forward slightly (3 mm) and,
while pressing it down, slide it further forward until
it locks in position.
7.2.2 Switching off after locking the switch
Press the front part of the on / off switch down (the lock
then releases).
The outer casing of the power tool is made from impact-
resistant plastic. Sections of the grip are made from a
synthetic rubber material.
Never operate the power tool when the ventilation slots
are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully using
a dry brush. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the
interior of the power tool. Clean the outside of the power
tool at regular intervals with a slightly damp cloth. Do
not use a spray, steam pressure cleaning equipment or
running water for cleaning. This may negatively affect the
electrical safety of the power tool. Always keep the grip
surfaces of the power tool free from oil and grease. Do
not use cleaning agents which contain silicone.
