formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
u
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-
tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
u
Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
u
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
u
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the bat-
tery may cause irritation or burns.
Service
u
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 Warnings for Angle Grinder
Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire
Brushing or Abrasive Cutting Off operations
u
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifica-
tions provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
u
Operations such as polishing are not recommended to
be performed with this power tool.
Operations for
which the power tool was not designed may create a haz-
ard and cause personal injury.
u
Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-
signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
u
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
u
The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
u
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by
flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange.
Accessories that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
u
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use in-
spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips
and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or in-
stall an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystand-
ers away from the plane of the rotating accessory and
run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one
minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart
during this test time.
u
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-
erated by various operations . The dust mask or respir-
ator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
u
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
u
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
u
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your con-
trol.
u
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
u
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
u
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-
als.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
u
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-
cution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-
ing wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinch-
ing or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating access-
