own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of
cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers
recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Large sanding
paper extending too far beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during
ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/
or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not
allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire
wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal
forces.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Always check if the spindle lock button is fully released before switching on
the tool! After using the spindle lock to tighten / loosen the abrasive disc, it is
possible that the button may stick in the lock position.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that no persons
are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no combustible materials
should be located in the vicinity (spark flight zone). Do not use dust
extraction.
Avoid flying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations or if
other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to find out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the arbour and
vulcanized fibre grinding wheel), significant contamination can build up on
the inside of the die grinder.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short circuit!
WARNING! Danger of burns! The wheel and workpiece will become hot
during use. Wear gloves when changing discs or touching workpiece. Keep
hands away from the grinding area at all times.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage
due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in
fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing
products, etc., Can cause a short circuit.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms.
Keep dry at all times.
Use only System Berner chargers for charging System Berner battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.

RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to
completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards
may arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
• Injury caused by vibration. Hold the product by designated handles and
restrict working time and exposure.
• Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection and limit
exposure.
• Injury due to flying debris Wear eye protection, heavy long trousers,
gloves and substancial footwear at all times.
• Inhalation of toxic dusts.
NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of
overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after
use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the
charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from
moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that
cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel
gauge will flash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger. Under extreme circumstances, the internal
temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the
fuel gauge will flash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go
off, the work may continue.
Transporting Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local,
national and international provisions and regulations.
The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject
to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport
are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the
process has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent
short circuit.
Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within packaging.
Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak. Check with forwarding
company for further advice.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that
the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.
Always use and store the cutting and grinding wheels according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Always use the correct guard for cutting and grinding.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be mounted min.
2 mm below the plane of the guard lip.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with the
machine.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
