Battery tool use and care

1. 

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.

2. 

Use power tools only with specifically desig

-

nated battery packs.

 Use of any other battery 

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

3. 

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.

4. 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-

tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If 

liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical 
help.

 Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 

irritation or burns.

5. 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-

aged or modified.

 Damaged or modified batteries 

may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in 

fire, explosion or risk of injury.

6. 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 

excessive temperature.

 Exposure to fire or tem

-

perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

7. 

Follow all charging instructions and do not 
charge the battery pack or tool outside the 

temperature range specified in the instruc

-

tions.

 Charging improperly or at temperatures 

outside the specified range may damage the 

battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

1. 

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.

2. 

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

3. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.

Cordless grinder safety warnings

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, 
Wire Brushing, or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

1. 

This power tool is intended to function as a 
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. 
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus-

trations and specifications provided with this 

power tool.

 Failure to follow all instructions listed 

below may result in electric shock, fire and/or 

serious injury.

2. 

Operations such as polishing are not rec-
ommended to be performed with this power 
tool.

 Operations for which the power tool was not 

designed may create a hazard and cause per

-

sonal injury.

3. 

Do not use accessories which are not specifi

-

cally designed and recommended by the tool 
manufacturer.

 Just because the accessory can 

be attached to your power tool, it does not assure 

safe operation.

4. 

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.

5. 

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.

6. 

Threaded mounting of accessories must 
match the grinder spindle thread. For acces-

sories 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.

7. 

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.

8. 

Wear personal protective equipment. 
Depending on application, use face shield, 
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, 
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.

 

The eye protection must be capable of stopping 

flying debris generated 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.

9. 

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.

10. 

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces only, when performing an operation 
where the cutting tool 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.

11. 

Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop.

 The spinning 

accessory may grab the surface and pull the 

power tool out of your control.

12. 

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.

13. 

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.
