It is an employer's responsibility to enforce 

the use of appropriate safety protective equip

-

ments by the tool operators and by other per-

sons in the immediate working area.

Power tool use and care

1. 

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct 

power tool for your application.

 The correct 

power tool will do the job better and safer at the 

rate for which it was designed.

2. 

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn 

it on and off.

 Any power tool that cannot be controlled 

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. 

Disconnect the plug from the power source 

and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 

from the power tool before making any adjust

-

ments, changing accessories, or storing power 

tools.

 Such preventive safety measures reduce 

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. 

Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-

dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with 

the power tool or these instructions to operate 

the power tool.

 Power tools are dangerous in the 

hands of untrained users.

5. 

Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for 

misalignment or binding of moving parts, break

-

age of parts and any other condition that may 

affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have 

the power tool repaired before use.

 Many accidents 

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 

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.

8. 

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 

and free from oil and grease.

 Slippery handles and 

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and 

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

9. 

When using the tool, do not wear cloth work 

gloves which may be entangled.

 The entangle

-

ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may 

result in personal injury.

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 contact acci

-

dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con

-

tacts 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, illustrations 

and specifications provided with this power tool.

 

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

3. 

Do not use accessories which are not specifi

-

cally designed and recommended by the tool 

manufacturer.

 Just because the accessory can

 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.
