n) Regularly clean the power tool's 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 flammable 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 towards or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body an arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control
over kickback or torque reaction during start up. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of
snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety warnings specific for polishing operations
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin
freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment
strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Additional grinder safety
WARNING: DO NOT operate a grinder without the appropriate guards in place. Reset the
guard if the work angle or the position of the person operating the machine changes.
• Do not touch grinding belts after use until they have cooled down
• Reset the ON/OFF switch of the tool to the 'OFF' position whenever the power is
interrupted
• The machine can be subject to overload if too much application force is exerted. Overload
can lead to overheating and damage of the power tool. After use, continue to run the tool at
no-load for several minutes in order to cool it down by using the fan of the motor
• When operating the grinder, it is an essential safety requirement that the correct type of
guard is installed for each application to prevent injury. For example, a cutting guard must
be installed when using a cutting or diamond disc, and a grinding guard must be used with
grinding discs
• Grinding tool accessories must be mounted, used and stored in compliance with the
manufacturer's recommendations
• Use the correct type of grinding belt for the task and material. Check the label on the disc or
accessory to find out if it is appropriate to use on the workpiece
• Ensure the cutting/grinding belt or accessory is fitted correctly and securely before use.
Run the machine with the belt or accessory fitted, but without load, for a reasonable time before
attempting to grind. If excessive vibration occurs, stop the machine, investigate and correct
the cause before use. Seek professional guidance if you are in doubt about how to operate the
machine safely
• Do not allow belts to become wet or contaminated with oil. If you suspect a belt has
degraded in storage, or if you are unsure whether its expiry date has passed, DO NOT USE AND
DISCARD
• Do not attempt to grind magnesium or any alloy that has high magnesium content
• Hold the machine appropriately to ensure that debris produced does not land on skin or
clothing
• Do not touch the spindle lock button while the tool is operating

Battery safety
WARNING: Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a fire, burn and explosion
hazard.
• Keep the battery out of reach of children
• ONLY charge Li-Ion batteries using the charger provided or designed specifically for your product
• ONLY use li-ion batteries provided with or specifically designed for use with the product
• Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause overheating or fire
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approximately 20˚C)
• Ensure that battery contacts cannot accidentally short in storage. Keep batteries clean; foreign
objects or dirt may cause a short. Keep away from other metal objects, for example paperclips,
coins, keys, nails and screws
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. This liquid may cause skin
irritation or burns. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, seek medical help
• DO NOT open, disassemble, crush, heat above 60°C or incinerate. Do not dispose of in fire or
similar
Battery charger safety
• Use the battery charger correctly
• Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger before attempting to
charge the battery.
• Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Keep your battery
charger clean; foreign objects or dirt may cause a short or block air vents. Failure to follow these
instructions may cause overheating or fire
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard
• Examine the battery charger regularly for damage, especially the cord, plug and enclosure. If the
battery charger is damaged, it must not be used until it has been repaired
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Battery and charger safety features
The battery and Charger are fitted with a number of safety features which may be triggered during
charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches 'OFF' when the battery has reached full
charge capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging beyond the recommended
lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches 'OFF' if the battery becomes too hot during operation.
This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up to 30
minutes cooling time may be required depending on the ambient temperature
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the maximum current draw is
exceeded, protecting the internal components. The battery will resume normal operation when
the current draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few seconds
• Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a short circuit occurs, this
prevents damage to the battery or tool
Use batteries correctly
• Only charge batteries using the charger provided. Only use batteries provided with this power
tool, or others recommended by the supplier. Keep batteries clean; foreign objects or dirt may
cause a short. Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow
these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
• When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approx. 20˚C). Ensure that
batteries cannot accidentally short in storage.
