switching on the tool! After using the spindle lock to tighten / loosen
the abrasive disc, it is possible that the button may stick in the lock
position.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that
no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no
combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark flight
zone). Do not use dust extraction.

Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order
to find out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with
the arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding wheel), significant
contamination can build up on the inside of the die grinder.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short
circuit!
WARNING! Danger of burns! The wheel and workpiece will become
hot during use. Wear gloves when changing discs or touching
workpiece. Keep hands away from the grinding area at all times.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack
or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or
conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals,
and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations
that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge will flash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger. Under extreme circumstances, the
internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If
this happens, the fuel gauge will flash until the battery pack cooled
down. After the lights go off, the work may continue.
Transporting Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national and international provisions and regulations.
The user can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is
subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and
transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained
persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding
experts.
When transporting batteries:
Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to
prevent short circuit.
Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within
packaging. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak.
Check with forwarding company for further advice.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the
spindle length.
Always use and store the cutting and grinding wheels according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
Always use the correct guard for cutting and grinding.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be
mounted min. 2 mm below the plane of the guard lip.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with the
machine.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.
Never move the workpiece towards the rotating wheel by hand.
The flange nut must be securely tightened before the machine is
started. If the tool is not securely tightened with the flange nut, it is
possible that the tool will lose the required clamping force when it is
decelerated.

OVERLOAD AND KICKBACK PROTECTION
The power tool has an overload and kickback safety function and
stops if it is overloaded. Switch off the power tool and then switch
the power tool back on again in order to continue to work.
SOFT START
