Safety Warnings
Please read all safety notes and instructions.
Failure to comply with the safety notes and instructions can lead to electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Keep all safety notes and instructions handy for future reference.
The term "electric tool" used in the safety notes may refer to powered electric
tools (with a power cord) or to cordless electric tools (without a power cord).
Workplace Safety
• Keep the workplace clean and well lit. Cluttered and unlit workspaces can
lead to accidents.
• Do NOT use the power tool in an environment where there is danger of
explosions, such as places with flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools product sparks, which could ignite the dust or vapors.
• Keep children and other persons away while the power tool is in operation.
In case of distraction, the operator may lose control over the tool.
Electrical Safety
• The connector plugs of the electric tool must fit into the power outlet
correctly. The connector must not be modified in any way. Never use
adaptor connectors together with power tools. Unmodified connectors
and suitable power outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heaters, hearths and
refrigerators. If your body is grounded, there is an increased risk of shock.
• Keep power tools away from rain and moisture. If water enters a power
tool, there is an increased risk of electric shock.
• Do NOT use the power cable to carry or suspend power tools, nor to
unplug the connector from the power outlet. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When using a power tool outdoors, only use extension cables which are
suitable for outdoor use. Using an extension cable which is not suitable for
outdoor use increases the risk of electric shock.
• If the usage of the power tool in a wet environment is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD). This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Battery Safety
• Only use the battery and charger supplied with the grinder. Use of a
different charger or battery increases the risk of fire or malfunction.
• Keep batteries away from paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that may cause bridging of the contacts.
• If ruptured or mistreated, fluid may escape from the battery. Avoid
contact with this fluid. In case of accidental contact with the fluid, flush
with water thoroughly. If the fluid enters the eyes or mouth, flush with
water and seek urgent medical assistance.
