2 Safety Precautions
In case of imminent danger or in an emergency,
switch off the machine immediately, move the
locking lever to ƒ and remove the battery.
Keep the working area clear – bear in mind
obstacles, holes and pits.
This cut-off machine can be used for work in the
rain or wet. Allow the cut-off machine or battery
to dry out separately if they are wet after use.
Do not leave the cut-off machine outdoors in the
rain.
Take care on ice, water, snow, on slopes or
uneven ground, etc. – risk of slipping!
Never work alone – always stay in earshot of
other persons who can help in an emergency.
Pay increased attention and take greater care
when wearing ear defenders – the perception of
sounds indicating potential danger (shouts, audi‐
ble warnings, etc.) is restricted.
Take a break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion – risk of accidents!
Keep everyone else away from the working area
– maintain a sufficient distance from other people
to protect them from noise and flying objects.
If you feel sick, if you have a headache, vision
problems (e. g., your field of vision gets smaller),
hearing problems, dizziness or inability to con‐
centrate, stop work immediately – risk of acci‐
dent!
If the cut-off machine has been exposed to
stress due to improper use (for example, impact
of force by blow or crash), test the device for
safe-to-operate condition before continuing work,
in every case – see also "Before start-up". Make
sure the safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating the cut-off machine if
damaged. In case of doubt, have the unit
checked by your servicing dealer.
Never touch a rotating abrasive cutting wheel
with your hand or any other part of your body.
Check the work area. Avoid danger due to dam‐
age to pipes and electric power lines.
The cut-off machine must not be used in the
vicinity of flammable substances and combusti‐
ble gases.
Do not cut into pipes, metal tanks or other con‐
tainers unless you are absolutely sure that they
do not contain any volatile or flammable substan‐
ces.

Before placing the cut-off machine on the ground
and leaving the cut-off machine unattended:
– Switch off the machine
– Set locking lever to ƒ
– Wait until the abrasive cutting wheel has come
to a standstill or brake the abrasive cutting
wheel until it comes to a standstill by carefully
touching a hard surface (e.g., concrete slab)
– Remove the battery. If the battery is removed
whilst the abrasive cutting wheel is running,
this extends the coasting effect – risk of injury!
Frequently inspect the abrasive cut‐
ting wheel – replace it right away if
there are visible cracks, buckling or
other damage (for example, overheat‐
ing) – risk of accident due to break‐
age!
In the event of changes in cutting behavior (e.g.,
increased vibration, reduced cutting perform‐
ance), stop work and eliminate the causes of the
changes.
An abrasive cutting wheel can become hot dur‐
ing dry cutting. Never touch the stationary abra‐
sive cutting wheel – risk of burns!
2.13 After finishing work
Turn off machine, set the locking lever to ƒ and
remove the battery from the cut-off machine.
NOTICE
If the battery is not removed, there is the risk that
the plug-in contacts on the cut-off machine and
battery become corroded. Such corrosion can
cause irreparable damage to the cut-off machine
and battery.
Allow the cut-off machine or battery to dry out
separately if they are wet after use.
2.14 Storage
When the cut-off machine is not in use it should
be parked in such a way that no-one is endan‐
gered. Ensure that the cut-off machine cannot be
used without authorization.
The cut-off machine must be stored in a dry
room with the locking lever set to ƒ and only
with the battery removed.
