the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point
of operation, is moving away from your body, the
possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in
motion otherwise kickback may occur.Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of
wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the work-
piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the work-
piece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut"
f)
into existing walls or other blind areas. The pro-
truding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

5.6 Additional safety instructions

5.6.1 Personal safety
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b) Always hold the power tool securely with both
hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
c) Breathing protection must be worn if the power
tool is used without a dust removal system for
work that creates dust.
d) Do not operate the power tool without the pro-
tective devices that belong to it.
e) Operate the power tool only as intended and when
it is in faultless condition.
f) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by
relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
g) Switch the power tool on only after bringing it into
position at the workpiece.
h) Remove the battery before storing or transporting
the tool.
i) Never brake the tool by applying lateral pressure
to the grinding or cutting disc.
j) Do not touch the clamping flange or the clamping
screw while the power tool is running.
k) Never press the spindle lockbutton while the
grinding or cutting disc is still rotating.
l) Never direct the power tool toward persons.
m) Adjust the pressure applied to the grinding or
cutting disc to suit the material you are working
on, so that the grinding or cutting disc doesn't
stall, possibly causing the tool to kick back.
n) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power
tool on only after bringing it into position at the
workpiece. Touching rotating parts, especially rotat-
ing insert tools, may lead to injury.
o) When grinding with straight grinding discs and
cutting with cutting discs in metalworking applic-
ations, use the guard with cover plate.
p) Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
q) The power tool is not intended for use by children,
by debilitated persons or those who have received
no instruction or training.
r) Do not use the power tool if it starts with a jolt.This
may be an indication that the electronic control unit
is defective. Have the tool repaired at an authorized
Hilti service center right away.
s) Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust
are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech
dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood
conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material
containing asbestos must only be treated by special-
ists. Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used. To achieve a high level
of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner
of the type recommended by Hilti for wood dust
and/or mineral dust together with this tool. Ensure
that the workplace is well ventilated. The use of a
dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended. Fol-
low national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
5.6.2 Power tool use and care
a) Grinding discs must be stored and handled care-
fully in accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.
b) Check that the grinding disc is fitted in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's instructions.
c) If use of a spacer ring or other intermediate part is
specified and the part is supplied with the grinding
disc, check to ensure that the part is fitted.
d) Before use, check that the cutting or grinding
disc has been fitted correctly and the clamping
nut tightened. Then allow the power tool to run
for 60 seconds under no load while holding it se-
curely. Switch off the power tool immediately if
significant vibration or any other faults are no-
ticed. Should this occur, examine the power tool
in order to determine the cause.
e) Never use the power tool without the guard.
f) Do not use separate reducing rings or adapters to
enable use of grinding discs with a larger mount-
ing hole.
g) If the grinding disc (or cup wheel, etc.) is equipped
with a threaded insert, check that the threaded
