carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Operation
Start-up
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
When operating the power tool using a mobile generator that
does not have sufficient reserve capacity or an adequate
voltage control system with inrush current boost converter,
loss of performance or atypical behaviour may occur upon
switch-on.
Please check the suitability of the power generator you are
using, particularly with regard to the mains voltage and fre-
quency.
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces and
u
auxiliary handle only. The application tool could come
into contact with hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with live wires may make metal parts of the tool live,
posing a risk of electric shock.
Switching on/off
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch (2) forward
and then press it down.
To lock the on/off switch (2) in position, push the on/off
switch (2) further forward.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2);
or, if the switch is locked, briefly press the on/off switch (2)
and then release it.
Always check abrasive tools before using them. The
u
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.
Switch without locking mechanism (country-specific):
(GWS 24-180 P / GWS 24-230 P)
To start the power tool, push the on/off switch (2) forward
and then press it down.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (2).

Restart protection
(GWS 24-180 JZ / GWS 24-230 JZ)
The restart protection feature prevents the power tool from
uncontrolled starting after the power supply to it has been
interrupted.
To restart the tool, set the on/off switch (2) to the "off" posi-
tion and then switch the power tool on again.
Starting current limitation
(GWS 24-180 JZ / GWS 24-230 JZ)
The electronic starting current limitation feature restricts the
power of the power tool when it is switched on and enables
operation using a 16 A fuse.
Note: If the power tool runs at full speed immediately after
being switched on, this means that the starting current limit-
ation and restarting protection mechanisms have failed. The
power tool must be sent to the after-sales service immedi-
ately; see the "After-Sales Service and Application Service"
section for addresses.
Overload protection
(GWS 24-180 JZ / GWS 24-230 JZ)
When overloaded, the motor comes to a stop. Allow the
power tool to cool down unloaded at its maximum no-load
speed for approx. 5–10 seconds.
Emptying the dust box (see figure A)
(GWS 24-180 JZ / GWS 24-230 JZ)
Press both sides of the dust box (3) and remove the dust
box (3) from the power tool. Open the cover and empty the
dust box (3). Slide the dust box (3) back into the power tool
until it clicks into place.
Working advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
Exercise caution when cutting slots in structural walls;
u
see the "Information on structural design" section.
Clamp the workpiece if it is not secure under its own
u
weight.
Do not load the power tool so heavily that it comes to a
u
stop.
If the power tool has been subjected to a heavy load,
u
continue to run it at no-load for several minutes to
cool down the accessory.
Do not use the power tool with a cut-off stand.
u
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until they have
u
cooled down. The discs can become very hot while work-
ing.
Note: Remove the plug from the socket when not using the
tool. When the power tool is plugged in, mains voltage is
present and the tool consumes a small amount of electricity,
even if switched off.
