Additional Safety and Working Instructions
When grinding metal, fl ying sparks are produced. Take care that
no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fi re, no
combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark fl ight
zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid fl ying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is
running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in
order to fi nd out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the
arbour and vulcanized fi bre grinding disk), signifi cant
contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder
(metal residue/deposits). For safety reasons, in such conditions a
ground fault interrupter must be connected in series. If the ground
fault interrupter trips the machine must be sent for service.
Sawdust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or
by burning them. Your power tool distributor will normally retrieve
old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System Berner chargers for charging System Berner
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in
dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid
wash it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye
contact rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately
seek medical attention.

battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of
overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after
used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from
the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away
from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION LI-ION BATTERY

overloaded and helps to ensure long life.
Under extreme stress the battery electronics switch off the machine
automatically. To restart, switch the machine off and then on again. If the
machine does not start up again, the battery pack may have discharged
completely. In this case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
