Original Instructions

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained 

users.

 

Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.

 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 

Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are 

less likely to bind and are easier to control.

 

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.

 

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.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

 

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.

 

Use power tools only with specifically designated 

battery packs.

 Use of any other battery packs may 

create a risk of injury and fire.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or 

modified.

 Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit 

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or 

risk of injury.

 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 

excessive temperature.

 Exposure to fire 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 temperatures outside the specified 

range may damage the battery and increase the risk of 

fire.

SERVICE

 

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.

 

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

ROTARY TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding, wire 

brushing, polishing, carving or abrasive cutting-off 

operations

 

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, 

sander, wire brush, polisher, carving 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.

 

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.

 

The rated speed of the grinding accessories must be 

at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the 

power tool. 

Grinding accessories running faster than 

their rated speed can break and fly apart.

 

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 controlled.

 

The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any 

other accessory must properly fit the spindle or 

collet of the power tool.

 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.

 

Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters 

or other accessories must be fully inserted into the 

collet or chuck. 

If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/

or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted 

wheel may become loose and be ejected at high velocity.

 

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use 

inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for 

chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or 

excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. 

If power tool or accessory 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 

accessories will normally break apart during this test 

time.

 

Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on 

application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety 

glasses. As appropriate wear dust mask, hearing 

protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of 

stopping 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.

 

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.

 

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
