power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f)

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g)

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

5.1.5 Battery tool use and care

a)

Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one

type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.

b)

Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs.

Use of any other battery

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

c)

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 termi-

nals together may cause burns or a fire.

d)

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact ac-
cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.

5.1.6 Service

a)

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.

5.2 Additional safety instructions

5.2.1 Safety warnings common for grinding,

danding, wire brushing, polishing or
abrasive cutting-off operations

a)

This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

b)

Operations such polishing are not recom-
mended to be performed with this power tool

Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.

c)

Do not use accessories which are not specif-
ically designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.

Just because the accessory can

be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.

d)

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.

e)

The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool.

Incorrectly sized accessories

cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

f)

The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly fit
the spindle of the power tool.

Accessories with

arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

g)

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect 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 acces-
sory is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no-load speed for one minute.

Damaged acces-

sories will normally break apart during this test
time.

h)

Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety gog-
gles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear
dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and work-
shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive
or workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-
erated by various operations.

The eye protection

must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-
erated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
