Rotating the machine head (GWX 18V-15 C)
u Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
The machine head can be
rotated in 90° increments.
In this way, the on/off
switch can be brought into
a more favourable handling
position for particular ap-
plications, e.g. for left-
handed tool users.
Completely unscrew the
four screws. Rotate the ma-
chine head carefully, without removing it from the hous-
ing, into the new position. Screw in and retighten the four
screws.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some
wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to one’s
health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or
bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered carci-
nogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment ad-
ditives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the ma-
terials to be worked.
u Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
easily ignite.

Push the charged battery (7) into the base of the power tool
from the front until the battery is securely locked.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch (5) forward.
To lock the on/off switch (5) in position, push the on/off
switch (5) forward and down until it clicks into place.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (5);
or, if the switch is locked, briefly push the on/off switch (5)

u Always check abrasive tools before using them. The
abrasive tool must be fitted properly and be able to
move freely. Carry out a test run for at least one
minute with no load. Do not use abrasive tools that are
damaged, run untrue or vibrate during use. Damaged
abrasive tools can burst apart and cause injuries.
Kickback stop
If there is a sudden kickback in the power tool,
e.g. jamming in a separating cut, the power
supply to the motor will be interrupted elec-
tronically. The kickback stop indicator(25)
