Safety warnings specific for wire
brushing operations
❏ Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by
the brush even during ordinary operation.
Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles
can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
❏ If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow any interfer-
ence of the wire wheel or brush with the
guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in
diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Additional safety warnings

Wear safety goggles.
❏ Use appropriate 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 elec-
tric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage.
❏ When the power supply is interrupted,
e. g., by removing the battery, unlock the
On/Off switch and set it to the Off position.
This prevents uncontrolled restarting.
❏ Do not touch grinding and cutting discs
before they have cooled down. The discs can
become very hot while working.
❏ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
❏ Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
against continuous intense sunlight,
fire, water, and moisture. Danger of
explosion.
❏ In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide
for fresh air and seek medical help in case
of complaints. The vapours can irritate the res-
piratory system.
❏ Use the battery only in conjunction with
your Würth power tool. This measure alone
protects the battery against dangerous overload.
❏ Use only original Würth batteries with the
voltage listed on the nameplate of your
power tool. When using other batteries, e. g.
imitations, reconditioned batteries or other
brands, there is danger of injury as well as prop-
erty damage through exploding batteries.
❏ Use only original Würth accessories.
