13. 

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.

 A wrench or a key

left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury. 

14. 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.

 This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations. 

15. 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.

 Loose clothes,

jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. 

16. 

If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.

 Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards. 

Power tool use and care 

17. 

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. 

18. 

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. 

19. 

Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.

 Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally. 

20. 

Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children 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. 

21. 

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage 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. 

22. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly

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

23. 

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.

Battery tool use and care 

24. 

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. 

25. 

Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.

 Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. 

26. 

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. 

27. 

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

 Liquid ejected from the battery

may cause irritation or burns. 

Service 

28. 

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. 

29. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and
changing accessories. 

30. 

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

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
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. 

2. 

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 hazard and cause personal injury. 

3. 

Do not use accessories which are not
specifically 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.
