Additional safety information
Wear safety goggles.
The protective guard must not be used for
cutting.
With a suitable adapter, the protective
guard can also be used for cutting.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands
and make sure you have a stable footing.
The
power tool can be more securely guided with
both hands.
u
For application tools with an internal thread, such as
brushes and diamond annular cutters, attention must
be paid to the max. thread length of the grinding
spindle.
The spindle end must not touch the base of the
application tool.
u
Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-
den supply lines or contact the local utility company
for assistance.
Contact with electric cables can cause
fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-
plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
u
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
cooled down.
The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
u
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the Off posi-
tion when the power supply is interrupted, e.g. when
the battery pack is removed.
This prevents uncontrolled
restarting.
u
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
u
Store the application tools inside buildings, in a dry,
frost-free room at a uniform temperature.
u
Remove the application tools before transporting the
power tool.
This will allow you to avoid damage.
u
Bonded cutting and grinding discs have an expiration
date, after which the discs must no longer be used.
u
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
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.
u
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
ing.
u
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
u
Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products or
those of the AMPShare partners.
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.
u
Caution! When using the power tool with Bluetooth
®
, a
fault may occur in other devices and systems, aero-
planes and medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, hearing
aids). Also, damage to people and animals in the im-
mediate vicinity cannot be completely excluded. Do
not use the power tool with
Bluetooth
®
in the vicinity of
medical devices, petrol stations, chemical plants,
areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere or in
blasting areas. Do not use the power tool with
