• Always use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with the instructions of this instruction manual, taking into account the working
conditions and the work that is to be performed. Use of the power tool for applications different from those intended could result in personal injury or cause
damage to the power tool.
• Keep the handles and any grasping surfaces of the power tool dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling of the tool in unexpected circumstances.
Battery tool use and care
• Recharge the batteries only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is used to charge unsuitable batteries can create a risk of fire.
• Use the power tool only with the specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When the 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 accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may not function as intended, resulting in fire or explosion.
• Do not expose a battery pack to fire or excessive temperatures. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 130°C may cause an explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
• Have the power tool serviced by qualified service personnel, using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
• Never attempt to repair damaged battery packs on your own. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service
technicians.
Safety instructions for the battery pack
• Do not dismantle, open, smash or burn the battery pack.
• Protect the battery against heat (e.g., against continuous intense sunlight), fire, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.
• Do not short-circuit the battery pack. There is a risk of explosion.
• Only use the battery pack with compatible products from the manufacturer.
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery pack, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours
can irritate the respiratory system.
• After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the battery pack several times to obtain maximum performance.
• The battery pack performs optimally when it is operated at normal room temperature (20 °C ± 5 °C).
• Recharge only with the specified charger. Do not use any charger other than the one that is provided.
• Do not use any battery pack which is not designed for use with the equipment.
• The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the
battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
• Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery using a soft, clean and dry brush.
• Keep the battery pack out of the reach of children.
• Remove the battery from the equipment when not in use.
• Make sure the battery is removed prior to making any adjustments, changing accessories, before carrying out maintenance or repair work and before storing
the tool.
• Wipe the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth if they become dirty.
• Replace batteries which have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or which have been exposed to violent shocks without delay, even if the
housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage.
• Do not store the power tool and battery in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50 °C.
• If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with plenty of clear water and seek medical attention right away. Contact of electrolyte with eyes may result
in loss of eyesight.
Safety instructions for cordless angle grinders
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
• The rated speed of the disc must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Discs running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of the disc must be within the capacity rating of the power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
• Threaded mounting of the disc must match the grinder spindle thread. For discs mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the disc must fit the locating diameter
of the flange. Discs 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 disc. Before each use inspect the disc for chips and cracks. If the power tool or disc is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged disc. After inspecting and installing an disc, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating disc and run the power tool at
maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged discs will normally break apart during this test time.
