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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel.
Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk
of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unau-
thorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
Safety Rules for Cordless Rotary Tools
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label.
Wheels
and other accessories running over rated speed can
fly apart and cause injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per-
forming an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator. If cutting into existing walls or other
blind areas where electrical wiring may exist is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding this worksite.
Before changing accessories remove battery pack.
Accidental starting may occur because battery tools
with a battery inserted are in the operative condition.
Be aware of the switch location, when placing the
tool down or when picking the tool up.
You may
accidentally activate the switch.
Always hold the tool with two hands during start-
up
.
The reaction torque of the motor can cause the
tool to twist.
Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use
only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety
devices and working in safe environment reduces
risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any adjust-
ments, make sure the collet nut and any other
adjustment devices are securely tightened.
Loose
adjustment device can unexpectedly shift, causing
loss of control, loose rotating components will be
violently thrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit.
The
proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not
always be obvious.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least
one minute before using wheel. During this time
no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush.
Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the
run-in time.
