▶ Risk of injury due to falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work, check that the battery and
installed accessories are secure.
▶ Do not touch oscillating parts - risk of injury!
▶ Wear eye protection, a hard hat and ear protection and suitable respiratory protection while the product
is in use.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) incorporated in the power tool and do not direct the light
at other persons' faces.
▶ Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers. High
vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ Keep the air vents clear at all times. Risk of burn injuries due to blocked air vents!
▶ Use clamps or some other suitable means to firmly secure the workpiece to a stable supporting surface.
Holding the workpiece only by hand or against your body leaves it unstable, which can lead to loss of
control.
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the product could give you an electric shock or cause an explosion if you
accidentally damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
▶ Use the product for dry sanding/grinding only. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
▶ Do not attempt to scrape off moistened materials (e.g. wallpaper) and do not perform scraping work on
damp underlying materials. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
▶ Do not pretreat the surface to be worked with liquids that contain solvents. The heat generated in the
materials during scraping operations can result in the production of toxic vapors.
▶ Keep your hands away from the cutting area. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. Risk of injury due
to contact with the saw blade.
▶ Always hold the product firmly with both hands and keep a firm footing at all times. The product is guided
more safely by two hands.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. The accessory tool runs hot when in use and
there is a risk of burn injury.
▶ Remove dirt, chips and other foreign matter that adheres to the accessory tool and/or the tool mount.
Otherwise the accessory tool cannot be tightened correctly.
▶ Switch the product on only after you have brought it to the working position. Switch the product on only
when the accessory tool is not in contact with the workpiece.
▶ Wait until the product has come to a complete stop before you lay it down.
▶ Do not use accessories not specifically intended and recommended for this power tool by the tool
manufacturer. The fact that an accessory can be attached to the power tool does not necessarily mean
that it can be used safely.
2.3
Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Comply with the following safety instructions for the safe handling and use of Li-ion batteries.
Failure to comply can lead to skin irritation, severe corrosive injury, chemical burns, fire and/or explosion.
▶ Use only batteries that are in perfect working order.
▶ Treat batteries with care in order to avoid damage and prevent leakage of fluids that are extremely
harmful to health!
▶ Do not under any circumstances modify or tamper with batteries!
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C
(176 °F).
