of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack�
• Use power tools only with specifically designat-
ed 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 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 fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns�
• Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the
on / off switch is in the off position before insert-
ing battery pack. Carrying the power tool with your
finger on the on / off switch or inserting the battery
pack into power tools that have the switch in acci-
dents�
• Do not open the battery. Danger of circuit�
• In case of damage and improper use of the bat-
tery, vapors may be emitted. Provide for fresh air
and seek medical help in case of complaints. The
vapors can irritate the respiratory system�
• When the battery is defective, liquid can escape
and come into contact with adjacent components�
Check any parts concerned� Clean such parts or re-
place them, if required�
• Protect the battery against heat, e.g., also
against continuous sun irradiation and fire. There
is danger of explosion�
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions.
• Protect the battery charger from rain and mois-
ture. The penetration of water in a battery charger in-
creases the risk of electric shock�
• Do not charge other batteries. The battery charger
is suitable only for charging lithium ion batteries within
the listed voltage range� Otherwise there is danger of
fire and explosion.
• Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination
may cause the danger of electric shock�
• Check the battery charger, cable and plug each
time before using. Do not use the battery charger
when defects are detected. Do not open the battery
charger yourself and have it repaired only by quali-
fied personnel using original spare parts. Damaged
battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of
electric shock�
• Do not operate the battery charger on easily in-
flammable surfaces (e.g. , paper , textiles , etc.) or
in combustible environments. There is danger of fire
due to the heating of the battery charger during charg-
ing�
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained�
• Follow instruction for lubricating and changing ac-
cessories�
Special safety warnings
• This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder. Read all safety warnings, instructions, il-
lustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed be-
low may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious
injury�
• Operations such as sanding, wire brushing,
polishing or cutting-off 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 specifical-
ly designed and recommended by the tool manu-
facturer. Just because the accessory can be attached
to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation�
• The rated speed of the grinding accessories
must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories run-
ning 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 controlled�
• The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle
or collet of the power tool. 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�
• Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cut-
ters or other accessories must be fully inserted
into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently
held and / or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the
mounted wheel may become loose and be ejected at
high velocity�
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum 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 undam-
aged 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 filtrat-
ing particles generated by your operation� Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss�
• 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 fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation�
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the ac-
cessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting acces-
