Battery tool use and care

1. Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

1. This power tool is intended to function as
a grinder, sander, wire brush, or polisher.
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2. Use as intended only. Operations for
which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
3. Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because
the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
4. 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.
5. 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 guarded or controlled.

3. 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.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing
pads or any other accessory must
properly fit the collet of the power tool.
Accessories with arbor holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
7. 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 dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged 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.
8. 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
