medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

or temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside
the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at

fire.
Service

Specific Safety Warnings for Belt Sander
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
• Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
