b) Use power tools only with speci
fi
cally
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and
fi
re.
c) 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
fi
re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs,
fl
ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali
fi
ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and in
fi
rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and in
fi
rm persons.
SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR
GRINDING OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-
OFF OPERATIONS
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder or cut-o
ff
tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and speci
fi
cations
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock,
fi
re and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing or
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.
c) Do not use accessories which are not speci
fi
cally
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) 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
fl
y apart.
e) 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
guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted
by
fl
anges, the arbour hole of the accessory must
fi
t the locating diameter of the
fl
ange.
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.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad 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.
h) 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
fl
ying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of
fi
ltrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) 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
fl
y away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
fl
ammable
materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
KICKBACK AND RELATED
WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
