Safety Warnings
Additional safety instructions for grinding and
cutting-off operations
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not
designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must
be mounted below the plane
of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that
projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be
adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to
protect operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-
tions. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemi-
cals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Lrystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles
Extra safety regulations
concerning battery
To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the
temperature is between 18-24°C. Do not charge the battery
pack when the temperature is below 5°C, or above 40°C.
This is important. Failure to observe this safety rule could
cause serious damage to the battery pack.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously
damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery pack
can explode in a fire.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur
under extreme usage or temperature. This does not
necessarily indicate a failure of the battery pack. However, if
the outer seal is broken and this leakage comes into
contact with your skin:
. Wash the affected area quickly with soap and water.
. Neutralise the liquid with a mild acid such as lemon juice
or vinegar. If the leakage gets in your eyes:
EN INSTRUCTION MANUAL
.Flush your eyes with clean water for a minimum of 10
minutes and seek immediate medical attention. Inform
the medical staff that the liquid is a alkaline solution.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If
the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or
cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not
recharge it.
Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket or
toolbox or any other place where it may come into contact
with metal objects.
The battery pack may be short circuited causing damage
to the battery pack, burns or a fire. If storing or disposing
the battery pack, cover the terminals with a heavy
insulation tape to ensure short circuit cannot occur.
Batteries, when stored for a long period of time, will
discharge.
Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 40°C such as
alongside sheds or metal structures in the summer.
Allow the battery pack to cool down after charging.
Do not place it in a hot environment such as a metal
shed or open trailer left in the sun.
Only charge the battery with the charger supplied.
Do not put the battery pack near fire or high temperature
position.
Do not splash or immerse in water or other liquids. This
may cause premature cell failure.
When transporting individual batteries, make sure that the
battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit.
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away from
direct sunlight and excess heat or cold.
If the battery pack has been stored for a long time, you
should activate the battery pack first before using it.
The battery is to be disposed of safely.
