liar with the power tool or these instruc­
tions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of un­
trained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories.

ing parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents

suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically des­
ignated 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
c.
away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a con­
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with wa­
ter. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

3.2 Machine-specific safety notices
General safety warnings for sanding, wire
brushing and abrasive cutting
– This power tool is designed to be used as a
sander, wire brush and abrasive cutting
machine. Read all safety warnings, infor­
mation, illustrations and technical data
enclosed with the tool. If the following in­
structions are not observed, this may lead
to electric shock, fire and/or serious inju­
ries.
This power tool is not suitable for sanding
–
using sandpaper or polishing. Applications
for which the power tool is not intended can
pose a serious risk and cause injuries.
– Do not use accessories which are not spe­
cifically designed and recommended by
the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure 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 capaci­
ty 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 ac­
cessories 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, wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If power tool or accessory is drop­
ped, inspect for damage or install an un­
damaged 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 mi­
nute. Damaged accessories will normally
break apart during this test time.
