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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many acci- dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance per- formed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replace- ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unau- thorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
Safety Rules for Cordless Rotary Tools
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per- forming an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Before changing accessories remove battery pack. Accidental starting may occur because battery tools with a battery inserted are in the operative condition.
Be aware of the switch location, when placing the tool down or when picking the tool up. You may
accidentally activate the switch.
Always hold the tool with two hands during start- up.
The reaction torque of the motor can cause the tool to twist.
Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area. Using personal safety devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any adjust- ments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not always be obvious.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using wheel. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the
