Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The Lithium-Ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.

Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature control
which allows charging only within a temperature range of be-
tween 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery service life is achieved
in this manner.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Removing the battery
The battery
5 is equipped with two locking levels that should
prevent the battery from falling out when pushing the battery
unlocking button
6 unintentionally. As long as the battery is
inserted in the power tool, it is held in position by means of a
spring.
To remove the battery 5, press the unlocking button 6 and
pull out the battery toward the front. Do not exert any force.
Battery Charge-control Indication (see figure A)
The three green LEDs of the battery charge-control indicator
24 indicate the charge condition of the battery 5. For safety
reasons, it is only possible to check the status of the charge
condition when the machine is at a standstill.
Press button
23 to indicate the charge condition. This is also
possible when the battery 5 is removed.
When no LED lights up after pushing button 23, then the bat-
tery is defective and must be replaced.
Mounting the Protective Devices
 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
Note: After breakage of the grinding disc during operation or
damage to the holding fixtures on the protection guard/power
tool, the machine must promptly be sent to an after-sales ser-
vice agent for maintenance for addresses, see section “After-
sales Service and Application Service”.
Protection Guard for Grinding
Place the protection guard 10 on
the spindle collar. Adjust the posi-
tion of the protection guard
10 to
the requirements of the operation.
Lock the protection guard
10 tight-
ening the locking screw 9 with an al-
len key 4.
 Adjust the protection guard 10 in such a manner that
sparking is prevented in the direction of the operator.
Note: The encoding keys on the protection guard 10 ensure
that only a protection guard that fits the machine type can be
mounted.
Protection Guard for Cutting

For cutting with bonded abrasives, always use the pro-
tection guard for cutting 16.

stone.
The protection guard for cutting 16 is mounted in the same
manner as the protection guard for grinding 10.

nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
 Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before they
have cooled down. The discs can become very hot while
working.
