► Read all safety warnings, instructions, illust-
rations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
PMTS 180 A1
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
GB│IE│NI │ 3 ■
2. Electrical safety
a) 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. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or ground-
ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduc-
es the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Protective equipment such
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction
of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for abrasive cutting appliances
1) Safety instructions for abrasive
cutting appliances
a) Ensure that you and everyone else in the
vicinity remain outside of the range of the
rotating grinding disc. The blade guard is
designed to protect the operator from fragments
and accidental contact with the grinding tool.
b) Use only reinforced bonded or diamond-
coated cutting discs for your power tool. Just
because you can attach the accessories to your
power tool does not guarantee they are safe to
use.
c) The permissible speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool. Acces-
sories that rotate faster than the permissible rate
can break and throw pieces into the air.
d) Grinding tools should only be used for the
recommended applications. For example:
Never grind with the side surface of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are designed to remove
material with the edge of the disc. Any lateral
application of force on these grinding tools can
lead to a breakage.
e) Always use an undamaged clamping flange
of the correct size and shape for the selected
grinding disc. Suitable flanges support the
grinding disc and reduce the risk of disc breakage.
f) The external diameter and thickness of the
attachment part used must comply with the
dimensions of the power tool. Incorrectly
dimensioned accessory tools cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.
g) Grinding discs and flanges must fit precisely
onto the grinding spindle of your power tool.
Accessory tools which do not fit precisely on
the grinding spindle of the power tool will rotate
unevenly, vibrate severely and can lead to a
loss of control.
h) Do not use damaged grinding discs. Check
the grinding discs before each use for chips
and cracks. If the power tool or grinding disc
is dropped, check to see if either are damaged or use an undamaged grinding disc.
After checking and inserting the grinding
disc, ensure that you and any other people
in the vicinity remain outside of the range of
the rotating grinding disc and allow the tool
to rotate at maximum speed for one minute.
Damaged grinding discs usually break during
this test period.

i) Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on the application, ensure that you
use full face protection, eye protection or
goggles. If required, use a dust mask, ear
protectors, protective gloves or special apron
to protect you from grindings and material
particles. The eye protection must be worn to
protect you against flying debris, which may be
caused by the various applications. Dust or filter
masks must be used to filter any dust created
by the application. If you are exposed to loud
noise for any length of time, you can suffer a
hearing loss.
j) Ensure that other people remain at a safe dis-
tance to your workspace. Anyone who enters
the workspace must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or bro-
ken accessory tools can fly off and cause injury
– even outside the immediate working area.
k) Keep the power cable away from any rotat-
ing accessories. If you lose control of the appliance, the connecting cable may get cut or
caught and your hand or arm could get caught
in the rotating accessory tool.
l) Clean the ventilation slits in your power tool
regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the
housing and a strong accumulation can cause
electrical hazards.
m) Do not use the power tool near flammable
materials. Do not use the electrical appliance
if it is placed on a flammable surface such as
wood. Sparks can ignite such materials.
n) Do not use any attachment parts that require
liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid
coolants may lead to an electric shock.
2) Kickback and corresponding
safety instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a
rotating cutting disc catches or jams. Catching or
jamming causes the rotating accessory tool to stop
abruptly. This results in an uncontrolled cutting
grinding tool being accelerated upwards towards
the operator.
If, for example, a cutting disc catches or jams, the
edge of the cutting disc that is projecting into the
workpiece can get caught and break off the cutting
disc or cause a kickback. This can also break cutting discs.
A kickback is caused by improper or incorrect use
of the power tool. This can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and
position your body and arms so that they
can absorb the kickback forces. By taking
adequate precautions, the operator can stay in
control of the kickback and reaction torques.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the
rotating cutting disc. In cases of kickback, an
uncontrolled cutting grinding tool is driven upwards towards the operator.
c) Do not use a toothed, wood-cutting or chain
saw blade or segmented diamond-coated
disc with more than 10 mm wide gaps. Such
accessories often cause a kickback or loss of
control over the power tool.
d) Avoid cutting disc jams or excessive contact
pressure. Do not make any excessively deep
cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the
stress and likelihood of tilting or blocking and
thus the possibility of a setback or a breakage
of the grinding tool.
e) If the cutting disc jams or you stop working,
switch the tool off and hold the cutting appliance steady until the disc has completely
stopped turning. Never attempt to pull a rotating cutting disc out of a cut. This could lead
to a kickback. Identify and remove the cause of
the jam.
f) Do not switch the power tool back on for as
long as it is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting disc to reach its full speed before you
carefully continue the cut. Otherwise, the disc
can jam, jump out of the workpiece or cause
kickback.
■ 6

GB│IE│NI
PMTS 180 A1
g) Support large workpieces to reduce the risk
of the cutting disc jamming and causing a
kickback. Large workpieces can bend under
their own weight. The workpiece must be supported on both sides, namely in the vicinity of
the cut, and also at the edge.
Further safety instructions for
abrasive cutters
■ Never stand on an electrical appliance.
Serious injuries can occur if the electrical appliance tips over or if you inadvertently come into
contact with the cutting disc.
■ Always use the protective cover. A protective
cover protects the user against parts of the
cutting disc which have broken off and also
against unintentional contact with the cutting
disc.
■ Ensure that the protective cover is working
properly and that it can move freely. Never
clamp the protective cover when it is in the open
position.
■ Use the appliance only for dry cutting.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
■ Keep the power cable away from any rotat-
ing accessories. The power cable can be cut
through or caught up.
■ Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
and result in loss of control.
■ Never remove cutting leftovers, metal swarf
etc. from the cutting area while the power
tool is running. Always place the tool arm in
the idling position and switch the power tool off.
■ Always switch on the power tool before ap-
plying it to the workpiece. Otherwise, there
is a danger of kickback if the cutting disc becomes caught up in the workpiece.
■ Only use the power tool if the working surface
is free of all adjusting tools, metal swarf etc.
except for the workpiece to be processed.
Small pieces of metal or other objects which
come into contact with the rotating cutting disc
can hit the operator at high speed.
■ Always clamp the workpiece to be processed
firmly. Never use workpieces which are too
small to clamped firmly. The distance between
your hand and the rotating cutting disc is otherwise too small.
■ If the cutting disc jams, switch the power tool
off and wait until the cutting disc has completely stopped turning. Never attempt to pull
a rotating cutting disc out of a cut. This could
lead to a kickback. Identify and remove the
cause of the jam.
■ Do not apply lateral pressure to try and slow
the cutting disc down after switching off the
appliance. The cutting disc might be damaged,
break or cause a kickback.
■ Never ram the cutting disc into the workpiece
forcefully, and never apply too much force
when using a power tool. You should especially avoid jamming the cutting disc when
working on corners, sharp edges etc. If the
cutting disc is damaged by misuse, it can form
cracks that result in sudden breakage.
■ Wear a safety apron. Ensure that nobody
can be endangered by flying sparks. Remove
all flammable material from the vicinity.
Grinding metal creates flying sparks.
■ Only use the abrasive cutter for materials
specified in the instructions for proper use.
Otherwise, the abrasive cutter can be overloaded.
■ Never use any damaged, non-circular or
vibrating cutting discs. Damaged cutting discs
cause increased friction, jamming of the cutting
disc and kickback.
■ Always use cutting disks of the correct size
and with an appropriate central fixing bore
(e.g. diamond-shaped or circular). Cutting
disks which do not match the fitting parts on the
abrasive cutter will run eccentrically and cause
loss of control.
■ Do not use chains or toothed saw blades.
Such accessories often cause a kickback or loss
of control over the power tool.
