DANGER!

When using the equipment, a number of safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety information with due care.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place
so that the information is available at all times. If
you give the equipment to any other person, hand
over these operating instructions and the safety
information as well. We cannot accept any liability
for damage or accidents which arise due to
failure to follow these instructions and the safety
information.

1. Safety information

DANGER!
Read all the safety information and
instructions. Failure to adhere to the safety

information and instructions set out below
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious
injury. Keep all the safety information and

instructions in a safe place for future use.

General safety information for power tools

The term “power tool“ used in the safety
regulations refers to power tools operated from
the mains power supply (with a power cable) and
to battery operated power tools (without a power
cable).

1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a ground
fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) protected
supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of

electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the Off -position before
connecting to power source and/or
BATTERY pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on

the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust

related hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your application.

The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off . Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may aff ect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations diff erent
from intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces

dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed

by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifi cally

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fi re.

c) 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 fi re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

e) Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that

is damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or

modifi ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behavior resulting in fi re, EXPLOSION or risk
of injury.

f) Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to

fi re or excessive temperature. Exposure to

fi re or temperature above 266°F (130°C) may
cause explosion.

g) Follow all charging instructions and do

not charge the BATTERY pack or tool
outside the temperature range specifi ed
in the instructions. Charging improperly or

at temperatures outside the specifi ed range
may damage the BATTERY and increase the
risk of fi re.

6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

b) Never service damaged BATTERY packs.

Service of BATTERY packs should only be

performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

Additional safety instructions

We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery
cells have a wide range of safety devices.
Each individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
These data are then used exclusively to be able
to assemble the best possible battery packs.

Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must always be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be
obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if
undamaged cells are used. Incorrect
handling can cause cell damage.

Caution! Analyses confi rm that incorrect use and

poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.

Information about the battery

1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the fi rst
time.

2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.

3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fi re.
There is a risk of explosion!

6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi re.

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of deep
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.

8. Protect batteries and the tool from
overloads. Overloads will quickly result
in overheating and cell damage inside the
battery housing without this overheating
actually being apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. 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 suff ered serious
damage. In this respect, please also read the
waste disposal information.

10. If the battery pack suff ers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut­off will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons. Caution! Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-off has
actuated. This may damage the battery.

11. Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a fi re risk.

12. Protect your rechargeable battery against
moisture, rain and high humidity. Moisture,
rain and high humidity can cause dangerous
cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been exposed to
moisture, rain or high humidity – replace them
immediately.

13. If your equipment is fi tted with a detachable
battery, remove the battery for safety reasons
after you have fi nished your work.

Information on chargers and the charging
process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to
connect the battery charger to a power supply
with the voltage marked on the rating plate.
Never connect it to a diff erent mains voltage.

2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from
damage and sharp edges. Have damaged
cables repaired without delay by a qualifi ed
electrician.

3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children‘s reach.

4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.

6. In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before commencing with the
charging.

7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not

exceed the maximum charging times. These
charging times apply only to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for more than 48
hours.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you

suspect that the last time they were
charged was more than 12 months
previously. There is a high probability

that the battery pack has already suff ered
dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).

9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
50°F (10°C) will cause chemical damage to
the cell and may cause a fi re.

10. Do not use batteries which have heated
during the charging process, as the battery
cells may have suff ered dangerous damage.

11. Do not use batteries which have suff ered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)

12. Never fully discharge the battery pack
(recommended depth of discharge max.
80%) A complete discharge of the battery
pack will lead to premature ageing of the
battery cells.

13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

Protection from environmental infl uences

1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.

2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.

4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient
temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).

5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
104°F (40°C). In particular, do not leave the
battery charger in a car that is parked in the
sunshine.

6. Protect batteries from overheating.
Overloads, over-charging and exposure to
direct sunlight will result in overheating and
cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been overheated –
replace them immediately if possible.

7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers
and cordless tools. Store the charger and
your cordless tool only in dry places with an

ambient temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C
to 40°C). Store the Lithium-Ion rechargeable
battery in a cool and dry place at 50°F to 68°F
(10°C to 20°C). Protect them from humidity
and direct sunlight! Place only fully charged
batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).

8. Prevent the Lithium-Ion battery pack from
freezing. Battery packs which were stored
below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes
must be disposed of.

9. When handling batteries beware of
electrostatic charge: Electrostatic discharges
cause damage of the electronic protection
system and the battery cells. Avoid
electrostatic charging and never touch the
battery poles.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ANGLE GRINDER

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding or
Abrasive Cut-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as

a grinder or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifi cations provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury.

b) Operations such as sanding,

wire brushing, polishing 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.

c) Do not use accessories which are not

specifi cally designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because

the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.

d) The RATED SPEED of the accessories

must be at least equal to the operating
speed setting marked on the power tool.

Accessories running faster than their RATED
SPEED can break and fl y apart.

e) 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.

f) Threaded mounting of accessories must

match the GRINDER spindle thread.
For accessories mounted by Flanges,
the arbor hole of the accessory must
fi t 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.

g) 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 no­load speed for one minute. Damaged

accessories will normally break apart during
this test time.

h) 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 fl ying debris
generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable
of fi ltrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

i) 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 fl y away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.

j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live"

wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.

k) Position the cord clear of the spinning

accessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning accessory.

l) Never lay the power tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop.

The spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.

m) Do not run the power tool while carrying

it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.

o) Do not operate the power tool near

fl ammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.

p) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.

Safety warnings specifi c for grinding and
abrasive cut-off operations:
a) Use only WHEEL TYPES that are

recommended for your power tool and
the specifi c guard designed for the
selected wheel. Wheels for which the power

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, sanding band, brush
or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory’s rotation.

tool was not designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.

b) The grinding surface of centre depressed

wheels must be mounted below the plane
of the guard lip. An improperly mounted

wheel that projects through the plane of the
guard lip cannot be adequately protected.

c) The guard must be securely attached

to the power tool and positioned for

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into
the surface of the material causing the wheel to
climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of
pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.

maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.

The guard helps to protect the operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental contact
with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.

d) Wheels must be used only for

recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool

and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up. The operator can

control torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating

for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.

e) Always use undamaged wheel Flanges

that are of correct size and shape
for your selected wheel. Proper wheel

Flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for
cut-off wheels may be diff erent from grinding
wheel Flanges.

f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger

power tools. Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher speed
of a smaller tool and may burst.

accessory. Accessory may kickback over
your hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area

where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in

direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at
the point of snagging.

d) Use special care when working corners,

sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp

edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of
control or kickback.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving

blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades

Additional Safety Warnings Specifi c for
Abrasive cut-off Operations:
a) Do not jam the cut-off wheel or apply

excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.

Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

b) Do not position your body in line with and

behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel,
at the point of operation, is moving away from
your body, the possible kickback may propel
the spinning wheel and the power tool directly

at you.

c) When wheel is binding or when

interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective

action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.

d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the

workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel

may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.

e) Support panels or any oversized

workpiece to minimize the risk of
wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their 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
