the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in the power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4) 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.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
6) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7) 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.
Power Tool Use and Care
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery pack 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.
4) 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.
5) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7) 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
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
2) 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.
3) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
4) 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.
5) Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from 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.
Service
1) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of power tool is maintained.
7) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks. 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 capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable
of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
9) 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 fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area
of operation.
10) 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.
11) 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.
Safety instructions for all operations
Safety warning common for Grinding or Abrasive Cutting-off operations:
1) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, or cut-off tool. 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) 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.
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.
6) Threaded mounting of accessories
must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories 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.
12) 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.
13) 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.
14) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw
the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
15) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
16) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Further safety instructions for all operations
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, 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 at the point of the
binding. 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.
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.
1) Maintain a firm 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.
2) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and cutting-off operations
Safety warnings specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-off operations:
1) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels
for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
2) 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.
3) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
4) 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 for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
5) 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 different from grinding wheel flanges.
6) 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.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive cutting­off operations:
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) Do not restart the cutting
operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
5) 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.
6) 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.

• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous grinding disc breakage.
• ALWAYS replace grinding disc if tool is dropped while grinding.
• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc.
• Avoid bouncing and snagging the grinding disc, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kickback.
• Do not jam the Disc or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the cut-off disc increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the cut-off disc in the cut and the possibility of kickback, cut-off disc breakage and overheating of the motor may occur.
• Do not start when disc is in the workpiece. To do so causes the cut-off disc binding or kickback. Let the cut-off disc reach full speed and then carefully cut the workpiece.
• During cutting operations, never change the angle of the disc. Placing side pressure on the cut-off disc (as in grinding) will cause the disc to crack and break, causing serious personal injury.
CAUTION
• To prevent excessive temperature increase of the tool surface, do not operate the tool continuously using two or more battery packs. The tool needs cool-off time before switching to another pack.
• Do not close up ventilation slots on the sides of the body during operation. Otherwise, the machine function is adversely affected to cause a failure.
• Do not strain the tool (motor). This may cause damage to the unit.
• Use the tool in such a way as to prevent the air from the ventilation slots from blowing directly onto your skin. Otherwise, you may get burned.
Indicator lamp for On lock start prevention function
The grinder will not start when the battery pack is inserted with the switch at the ON position (switch lever at ON). The warning lamp will flash at this
time to indicate that the ‘On lock start
prevention function’ has operated. [Fig.12] Press the switch to the OFF position (switch lever at OFF) and then press it back to the ON position (switch lever at ON) to start the grinder. [Fig.13]
Overheat warning lamp [Fig.14]
Indicates operation has been halted due
to motor or battery overheating.
To protect the battery, be sure to note the following when carrying out this
operation.
If the battery becomes hot, the
protection function will be activated and the motor or battery will stop operating. The overheat warning lamp
on the control panel illuminates or
flashes when this feature is active.
If the overheating protection feature activates, allow the tool to cool thoroughly (at least 30 minutes). The tool is ready for use when the overheat warning lamp goes out.
Avoid using the tool in a way that causes the overheating protection feature to activate repeatedly.
• If the tool is operated continuously
under high-load conditions or if it is used in hot-temperature conditions (such as during summer), the overheating protection feature may activate frequently.
If the tool is used in cold-temperature conditions (such as during winter) or if it is frequently stopped during use, the overheating protection feature may not activate.
The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to
function properly.
When charging a cool battery pack
(below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the
ambient temperature.
Battery low warning lamp [Fig.15]
Excessive (complete) discharging of
lithium ion batteries shortens their
service life dramatically. The tool
includes a battery protection feature
designed to prevent excessive discharging of the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature
activates immediately before the battery loses its charge, causing the battery low warning lamp to flash.
If you notice the battery low warning lamp flashing, charge the battery
pack immediately.
If it is started with too little battery
power remaining, the tool may stop operating without the battery low warning lamp flashing first. This
indicates that there is too little battery
power remaining to use the tool, and the battery pack should be charged
before further use.
If the tool is subject to a sudden load
during use that causes the motor to lock up, the overdischarge prevention sensor may be triggered, and the battery low warning lamp may flash. The lamp will stop flashing once you
address the cause of the motor’s
locking up and cycle the trigger.

terminals may be affected by foreign substances such as dust and water etc. during operation.
CAUTION
To protect the motor or battery, be sure to note the following when carrying out operation.
If the battery becomes hot, the protection function will be activated and the battery will stop operating. The overheat warning lamp on the control panel illuminates or flashes when this feature is active.
For safe use
The battery pack is designed to be installed by proceeding two steps for
safety. Make sure the battery pack is installed properly to the main unit before use.
• If the battery pack is not connected firmly
when the switch is switched on, the overheat warning lamp and the battery low warning lamp will flash to indicate that safe operation is not possible, and the main unit will not rotate normally.
Connect the battery pack into the unit
of the tool until the red or yellow label
disappears.
[Battery Charger] Charging
CAUTION
• The charger is designed to operate on standard domestic electrical power only as stated in the rating plate. Charge only on the voltage indicated on the rating plate of unit. e.g.120V / 60Hz.
• Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage or frequency rating.
• The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
• If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly.
• If the temperature of the battery pack falls approximately below 0°C ( 32°F), charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of the battery.
• Use the charger at temperatures between 0°C and 40°C, and charge the battery at a temperature similar to that of the battery itself. (There should be no more than a 15°C difference between the temperatures of the battery and the charging location.)
• When charging a cool battery pack (below 0°C (32°F) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature.
• Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact hole, when holding charger or any other occasions.
• To prevent the risk of fire or damage to the battery charger.
