SAFETY INFORMATION
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 paperclips,
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.
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.
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
• This power tool is intended to function as a grinder 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.
• Operations such as sanding, wire brushing and 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.
• 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 does
not ensure safe operation.
• 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 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 guarded or
controlled.
• Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. 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.
• 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,
and 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.
