tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless grinder safety warnings
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing, or Abrasive Cutting-O󰀨 Operations:
1. This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-o󰀨 tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus-
trations and specications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
2. Operations such as polishing are not rec-
ommended to be performed with this power
tool. Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause per-
sonal injury.
3. Do not use accessories which are not speci-
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.
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 y 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 acces-
sories mounted by anges, the arbour hole of
the accessory must t the locating diameter
of the ange. 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.
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 maxi-
mum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged acces-
sories 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 appropri-
ate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping ying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of ltrating 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 y 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. Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
12.
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.
13. 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.
14. Do not operate the power tool near ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
15. Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other acces-
sory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-
trolled 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.

10 ENGLISH
1. Maintain a 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 kick-
back forces, if proper precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
sory. 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 fre-
quent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specic for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-O󰀨 Operations:
1. Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specic 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 the opera-
tor from broken wheel fragments, 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-o󰀨 wheel. Abrasive cut-o󰀨 wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
5. Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-o󰀨
wheels may be di󰀨erent from grinding wheel anges.
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 Specic for Abrasive
Cutting-O󰀨 Operations:
1. Do not “jam“ the cut-o󰀨 wheel or apply exces-
sive 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 possibil-
ity 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 spin-
ning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
3. When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch o󰀨 the power
tool and hold the power tool motionless until
the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-o󰀨 wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur. Investigate and take correc-
tive 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 re-enter 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 kick-
back. 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, elec-
trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specic for Sanding Operations:
1. Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommen-
dations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specic for Wire Brushing
Operations:
1. Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
2. If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.
Additional Safety Warnings:
1. When using depressed centre grinding wheels,
be sure to use only berglass-reinforced
wheels.
2. NEVER USE Stone Cup type wheels with this
grinder. This grinder is not designed for these
types of wheels and the use of such a product
may result in serious personal injury.
3. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the
ange (especially the installing surface) or the
lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in
wheel breakage.
4. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
5. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.
6. Use the specied surface of the wheel to per-
form the grinding.
7. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.

11 ENGLISH
8. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
9. Do not touch accessories immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
10. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer
for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.
11. Do not use separate reducing bushings or
adaptors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.
12. Use only anges specied for this tool.
13. For tools intended to be tted with threaded
hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel
is long enough to accept the spindle length.
14. Check that the workpiece is properly
supported.
15. Pay attention that the wheel continues to
rotate after the tool is switched o󰀨.
16. If working place is extremely hot and humid,
or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure opera-
tor safety.
17. Do not use the tool on any materials contain-
ing asbestos.
18. When use cut-o󰀨 wheel, always work with
the dust collecting wheel guard required by
domestic regulation.
19. Cutting discs must not be subjected to any
lateral pressure.
20. Do not use cloth work gloves during operation.
Fibers from cloth gloves may enter the tool, which
causes tool breakage.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.

quate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure
could cause dangerous wheel breakage.
WARNING: ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is
dropped while grinding.
WARNING: NEVER bang or hit grinding disc
or wheel onto work.
WARNING: Avoid bouncing and snagging
the wheel, especially when working corners,
sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and
kickback.
WARNING: NEVER use tool with wood cutting
blades and other saw blades. Such blades when
used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of
control leading to personal injury.
CAUTION: Never switch on the tool when it
is in contact with the workpiece, it may cause an
injury to operator.
CAUTION: Always wear safety goggles or a
face shield during operation.
CAUTION: After operation, always switch o󰀨
the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a
complete stop before putting the tool down.
CAUTION: ALWAYS hold the tool rmly with
one hand on housing and the other on the side
grip (handle).
Grinding and sanding operation
► Fig.25
Turn the tool on and then apply the wheel or disc to the
workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an
angle of about 15° to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not
work the grinder in forward direction or it may cut into
the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been
rounded o󰀨 by use, the wheel may be worked in both
forward and backward direction.

16 ENGLISH
Operation with abrasive cut-o󰀨 /
diamond wheel
Optional accessory
WARNING: Do not "jam" the 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, wheel breakage and overheating of the
motor may occur.
WARNING: Do not start the cutting operation
in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully enter into the cut moving the tool
forward over the workpiece surface. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
started in the workpiece.
WARNING: During cutting operations, never
change the angle of the wheel. Placing side pres-
sure on the cut-o󰀨 wheel (as in grinding) will cause
the wheel to crack and break, causing serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING: A diamond wheel shall be oper-
ated perpendicular to the material being cut.

SÄKERHETSVARNINGAR
Allmänna säkerhetsvarningar för
maskiner
VARNING: Läs alla säkerhetsvarningar, anvis-
ningar, illustrationer och specikationer som
medföljer det här maskinen. Underlåtenhet att följa
instruktionerna kan leda till elstötar, brand och/eller
allvarliga personskador.
Spara alla varningar och instruk-
tioner för framtida referens.
Termen ”maskin” som anges i varningarna hänvisar till
din eldrivna maskin (sladdansluten) eller batteridrivna
maskin (sladdlös).
Säkerhetsvarningar för batteridriven
slipmaskin
Säkerhetsvarningar för slipning, stålborstning eller
abrasiv skärning:
1. Den här maskinen är utformad för att användas
för slipning, stålborstning eller som skärverk-
tyg. Läs alla säkerhetsvarningar, anvisningar,
illustrationer och specikationer som med-
följer den här maskinen. Underlåtenhet att följa
instruktionerna kan leda till elstötar, brand och/
eller allvarliga personskador.
2. Den här maskinen rekommenderas inte för
poleringsarbeten. Om maskinen används till
andra arbeten än de avsedda, kan det orsaka fara
och personskada.
3. Använd inte tillbehör som inte är särskilt till-
verkade och rekommenderade av maskinens
tillverkare. Även om ett tillbehör kan fästas på
maskinen garanterar detta inte säker funktion.
4. Tillbehörets nominella varvtal måste vara
minst lika med det maximala varvtalet som
anges på verktyget. Tillbehör som används över
det nominella varvtalet kan gå sönder och orsaka
skador.
5. Tillbehörets ytterdiameter och tjocklek måste
vara anpassad till elverktygets kapacitets-
klassning. Tillbehör i olämplig storlek kan inte
skyddas eller styras tillräckligt väl.
6. Gängorna på tillbehör som monteras måste
stämma överens med spindelgängorna på
slipmaskinen. För tillbehör som monteras med
änsar måste tillbehörets centrumhål passa i
änsens lokaliseringsdiameter. Tillbehör som
inte passar exakt på maskinens monteringsbeslag
roterar ojämnt, vibrerar kraftigt och kan leda till att
du förlorar kontrollen.
7.
Använd inte ett skadat tillbehör. Kontrollera
tillbehör som sliprondeller efter hack och
sprickor, underlagsplattor efter sprickor, slitage
och stålborstar efter lösa eller brutna trådar.
Om du tappar maskinen eller ett tillbehör ska du
kontrollera att det inte har uppstått några skador,
eller så ska tillbehöret bytas ut mot ett oskadat.
Efter kontroll och montering av tillbehöret ska
du och åskådare hålla er borta från det roterande
tillbehöret samtidigt som du kör maskinen på
full fart utan last i en minut. Skadade tillbehör går
normalt sönder under den här testtiden.
8. Använd personlig skyddsutrustning. Använd
visir, korgglasögon eller skyddsglasögon
beroende på arbetsuppgift. Använd vid
behov dammskydd, hörselskydd, handskar
och skyddsförkläde som stoppar små bitar
slipmaterial eller fragment från arbetss-
tycket. Ögonskyddet måste kunna stoppa y-
gande fragment som uppstår vid olika arbeten.
Dammskyddet eller andningsskyddet måste kunna
ltrera partiklar som uppstår vid olika arbeten.
Lång tid i kraftigt buller kan orsaka hörselskador.
9.
Håll personer i omgivningen på säkert avstånd
från arbetsområdet. Alla som benner sig i
arbetsområdet måste använda skyddsutrustning.
Delar av arbetsstycket eller defekta tillbehör kan yga
iväg och orsaka skador utanför arbetsområdet.
10. Håll maskinen endast i de isolerade handtagen
om det nns risk för att skärverktyget kan
komma i kontakt med en dold elkabel. Om skär-
verktyget kommer i kontakt med en strömförande
ledning blir maskinens metalldelar strömförande
och kan ge användaren en elektrisk stöt.
11.
Lägg aldrig elverktyget åt sidan förrän det har stan-
nat helt. Det roterande tillbehöret kan gripa tag i under-
laget och du kan förlora kontrollen över maskinen.
12. Kör inte verktyget samtidigt som du bär det.
Oavsiktlig kontakt med det roterande tillbehöret
kan leda till att det fastnar i dina kläder och dras in
mot kroppen.
13. Rengör regelbundet verktygets ventilations-
öppningar. Motorns äkt suger in damm i höljet
och överdriven ansamling av pulveriserad metall
kan orsaka elektrisk fara.
14.
Använd inte verktyget i närheten av lättantänd-
liga material. Gnistor kan antända dessa material.
15. Använd inte tillbehör som kräver ytande kyl-
vätskor. Att använda vatten eller andra ytande
kylvätskor kan orsaka dödsfall eller elektriska stötar.
Bakåtkast och relaterade varningar
Bakåtkast är en plötslig reaktion på fastnypt roterande
hjul, underlagsplatta, borste eller annat tillbehör. Nyp
och kärvning orsakar stegring av det roterande tillbehö-
ret, och orsakar i sin tur att den okontrollerade maski-
nen tvingas i motsatt riktning vid kärvningspunkten.
Om till exempel en slipskiva fastnar i eller kläms fast av
arbetsstycket kan skivans kapande kant gräva sig in i
materialytan vid klämpunkten, vilket leder till att skivan
klättrar eller kastas tillbaka. Skivan kan antingen hoppa
mot eller från användaren, beroende på skivans rörel-
seriktning vid klämpunkten. Slipskivorna kan även gå
sönder under dessa omständigheter.
Bakåtkast beror på ovarsamhet och/eller felaktiga
arbetsrutiner, och kan undvikas genom att vidta nedan-
stående förebyggande åtgärder.
