Small pieces of mineral materials may be ejected from the cutting groove by the quick rotation of the cut off wheel.
• Rotate the wheel guard down as far as possible so the cut particles are ejected away from the user.
• Mark the cutting line and grind a groove of approx. 5 mm [approx. 3/16”] along the entire line at half throttle that will
guide the power tool precisely for the subsequent cutting process.
• Perform the cutting process with even movements back and forth.

training and a workshop equipped with special tools and test devices.
Recommendation: Have all work not described in these operating instructions and all work you are not comfortable
with be performed by a specialist workshop authorized by us. The specialist has the required training, experience and
equipmentandcanmakethemostcost-efcientsolutionavailabletoyou.Hewilladviseandsupportyou.
The power tool must be cleaned thoroughly after every use and checked for damage; in particular the cooling air
openings in the starter housing must be clean and free.
Inside the wheel guard, material deposits will form over time (in particular when wet cutting), which may impair free
rotation of the cut off wheel.
Only use the environmentally compatible cleaning agents offered by specialist vendors for cleaning. Never use fuel to
clean!
It is best to keep the power tool in a dry and safe site with a full fuel tank.
