Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Remove the application tools before transporting the
u
power tool. This will allow you to avoid damage.
Bonded cutting and grinding discs have an expiration
u
date, after which the discs must no longer be used.
Store the application tools inside buildings, in a dry,
u
frost-free room at a uniform temperature.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.

A) Rated no-load speed for the selection of appropriate application
tools in accordance with EN IEC 62841-2-3. The actual no-load
speed must not exceed the rated no-load speed and is therefore
lower.
B) Depends on rechargeable battery (4) and protective guard ((7),

Noise/Vibration Information
Noise emission values determined according to
EN IEC 62841-2-3.
Typically, the A-weighted sound pressure level of the power
tool is 78 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB. The noise level when
working can exceed the volume stated. Wear hearing pro-
tection!
Grinding thin metal sheets or other materials that tend to easily vi-
brate with a large surface area can cause the noise emission value to
increase by up to 15 dB. Suitable, heavy damping mats can reduce
the increased noise emissions. Increased noise emissions must be
taken into consideration, both for the risk assessment of the noise
output and for selecting suitable hearing protection.
