The shape and weight vary depending on the speciications which differ country to country.

Symbols

The following show the symbols used for the equip-
ment. Be sure that you understand their meaning before 
use.

Wear safety glasses.

 

Read instruction manual.

DOUBLE INSULATION

Only for EU countries  
Do not dispose of electric equipment 
together with household waste material! In 
observance of the European Directive, on 
Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment 
and its implementation in accordance with 
national law, electric equipment that have 
reached the end of their life must be col-
lected separately and returned to an envi-
ronmentally compatible recycling facility.

Intended use

The tool is intended for cutting in ferrous materials with 
appropriate abrasive cut-off wheel. Follow all laws and 
regulations regarding dust and work area health and 
safety in your country.

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of 
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and 
can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They 
are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used 
from sockets without earth wire.

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING:

 

Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and speciications provided 

with this power tool.

 Failure to follow all instructions 

listed below may result in electric shock, ire and/or 

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruc

-

tions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your 
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated 
(cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. 

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or 

dark areas invite accidents.

2. 

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo

-

spheres, such as in the presence of lammable 

liquids, gases or dust.

 Power tools create sparks 

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. 

Keep children and bystanders away while 
operating a power tool.

 Distractions can cause 

you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1. 

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never 

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any 
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power 
tools. 

Unmodiied plugs and matching outlets will 

reduce risk of electric shock.

2. 

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded 

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 
refrigerators.

 There is an increased risk of elec-

tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

3. 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions.

 Water entering a power tool will increase 

the risk of electric shock.
