Safety Information

Before operating the tool, read all provided safety instructions, including the general safety guidelines for power tools. Always ensure the tool is in perfect working order. Faults that compromise safety must be repaired immediately. Always remove the battery pack before performing any assembly, adjustments, cleaning, or when the tool is not in use.

Setup and Operation

To install an attachment, ensure the motor is off and the battery is removed. Align the attachment shaft with the coupler on the power head, ensuring the spring-loaded pin clicks into the correct groove (B-2 for GLT 35). Secure the connection by tightening the wing knob. The front-assist handle can be adjusted for ergonomic operation; ensure it is positioned within the marked limits on the shaft.

To start the tool, push the lock-off button to the left or right, then depress the variable-speed trigger switch. The speed can be adjusted by varying the pressure on the trigger. A speed mode switch allows selection between low (1) and high (2) speed settings.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Regularly clean the power tool and ventilation slots using dry compressed air. The frequency of cleaning depends on the material and duration of use. Repairs should only be performed by an authorized customer service center. If the tool fails to start, ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly installed, and that the attachment is properly secured.

Disposal

Do not dispose of electric power tools or batteries in household waste. In accordance with EU directives, used tools and batteries must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
