SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instruc-
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.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
1. 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.

3ENGLISH
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
7. Power tools can produce electromagnetic
elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.
However, users of pacemakers and other similar
medical devices should contact the maker of their
device and/or doctor for advice before operating
this power tool.
Personal safety
1. 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your nger on the switch or energising 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
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8.
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.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce the
use of appropriate safety protective equipment
by the tool operators and by other persons in
the immediate working area.
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 o󰀨. 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, 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 chil-
dren 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 and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may
a󰀨ect the power tool’s 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, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations di󰀨erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8.
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.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work gloves
which may be entangled. The entanglement of cloth work
gloves in the moving parts may result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
re, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of re.

4ENGLISH
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
4. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
ance or the battery pack except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
Compact cut o󰀨 safety warnings
1. The guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the oper-
ator. Position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating wheel. The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel frag-
ments and accidental contact with wheel.
2. Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-o󰀨
wheels for your power tool. Just because an
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
3. 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.
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 diameter for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus
reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
6. Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from
larger power tools. Wheels intended for a larger
power tool are not suitable for the higher speed of
a smaller tool and may burst.
7. 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.
8. The arbour size of wheels and anges must
properly t the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and anges with arbour 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.
9. Do not use damaged wheels. Before each
use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks.
If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged wheel. After
inspecting and installing the wheel, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels will normally break apart during
this test time.
10. Wear personal protective equipment. Always
wear hearing protection. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles
or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, gloves and shop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection 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.
11. 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 wheel may
y away and cause injury beyond immediate area
of operation.
12. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hid-
den wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
13. Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
wheel may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
14. 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.
15. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motorʼs fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
16. Do not operate the power tool near ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
17. 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. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stall-
ing of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncon-
trolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of
the wheel’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 move-
ment 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 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.

5ENGLISH
2. Never place your hand near the rotating acces-
sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
3. Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel. 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,
segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
6. 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 kick-
back or wheel breakage.
7. 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 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Before using a segmented diamond wheel,
make sure that the diamond wheel has the
peripheral gap between segments of 10 mm or
less, only with a negative rake angle.
Additional Safety Warnings:
1. Never attempt to cut with the tool held upside
down in a vise. This can lead to serious acci-
dents, because it is extremely dangerous.
2. Check that the workpiece is properly
supported.
3. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
4. Store wheels as per manufacturer recom-
mendations. Improper storage may damage the
wheels.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

hol o medicamentos. Un momento de distracción
mientras opera las herramientas eléctricas puede
terminar en una lesión grave.
2. Use equipo de protección personal. Póngase
siempre protección para los ojos. El equipo
protector tal como máscara contra el polvo, zapa-
tos de seguridad antiderrapantes, casco rígido y
protección para oídos utilizado en las condiciones
apropiadas reducirá el riesgo de lesiones.
3.
Impida el encendido accidental. Asegúrese de
que el interruptor esté en la posición de apa-
gado antes de conectar a la alimentación eléc-
trica y/o de colocar el cartucho de batería, así
como al levantar o cargar la herramienta. Cargar
las herramientas eléctricas con su dedo en el inte-
rruptor o enchufarlas con el interruptor encendido
hace que los accidentes sean comunes.
4. Retire cualquier llave de ajuste o llave de
apriete antes de encender la herramienta. Una

Advertencias de seguridad para
cortador compacto
1. El protector que se incluye con la herramienta
debe quedar bien instalado y colocado en
la herramienta eléctrica para garantizar la
máxima seguridad, de tal manera que el opera-
dor esté lo menos expuesto posible a la rueda.
Usted y las personas alrededor deberán man-
tenerse alejados del plano de la rueda girato-
ria. El protector ayuda a proteger al operador de
los fragmentos rotos de la rueda y del contacto
accidental con la misma.
2. Use solamente ruedas de corte de diamante
o reforzadas adheridas para su herramienta
eléctrica. El que un accesorio pueda ensam-
blarse en su herramienta eléctrica no garantiza
una operación segura.
3. La velocidad especicada para el accesorio
debe ser por lo menos la misma que la veloci-
dad máxima marcada en la herramienta eléc-
trica. Los accesorios que vayan a una velocidad
mayor que su velocidad especicada pueden
romperse y desintegrase.
4.
Las ruedas deben usarse únicamente para las
aplicaciones recomendadas. Por ejemplo, no
haga operaciones de esmerilado con la parte
plana de la rueda cortadora. Las ruedas abrasivas
de corte están diseñadas para el esmerilado perifé-
rico; las fuerzas aplicadas lateralmente a estas rue-
das pueden ocasionar que se rompan en pedazos.
5. Siempre utilice bridas de rueda sin daños que sean
del diámetro correcto para la rueda seleccionada.
Las bridas de rueda adecuadas soportan la rueda
reduciendo así la posibilidad de rotura de la rueda.
6. No utilice ruedas reforzadas que estén desgas-
tadas de herramientas eléctricas más grandes.
Las ruedas diseñadas para una herramienta eléc-
trica más grande no son adecuadas para la velo-
cidad mayor de una herramienta más pequeña y
pueden reventarse.
7. El diámetro externo y el grosor de su acceso-
rio debe estar dentro de la capacidad indicada
de su herramienta eléctrica. Los accesorios de
tamaño incorrecto no podrán ser protegidos ni
controlados adecuadamente.
8. El tamaño del oricio del eje de las ruedas y
bridas se debe ajustar adecuadamente al eje
de la herramienta eléctrica. Las ruedas y bridas
con del oricios para ejes que no se ajusten al
equipo de montaje de la herramienta eléctrica se
desequilibrarán, vibrarán excesivamente y podrán
causar pérdida de control.
9. No use ruedas dañadas. Antes de cada uso,
inspeccione las ruedas para vericar que no
haya grietas ni astillas. Si la herramienta eléc-
trica o la rueda llegan a caerse, inspeccione
que no haya daños o instale una rueda que no
esté dañada. Después de inspeccionar e insta-
lar la rueda, colóquense usted y las personas
alrededor lejos del plano de la rueda giratoria
y haga funcionar la herramienta eléctrica a
la velocidad máxima sin carga durante un
minuto. Las ruedas dañadas por lo general se
romperán durante este tiempo de prueba.

20 ESPAÑOL
10.
Use equipo de protección personal. Póngase siempre
protección para los oídos. Dependiendo de la aplica-
ción, utilice careta y gafas o anteojos de seguridad.
Según resulte apropiado, use máscara contra polvo,
guantes y mandil de trabajo que puedan detener
pequeños fragmentos abrasivos o de la pieza de
trabajo. La protección para los ojos deberá ser capaz de
detener los residuos que salgan volando a causa de las
distintas operaciones. La máscara contra polvo o el res-
pirador deben ser capaces de ltrar las partículas gene-
radas durante la operación. La exposición prolongada al
ruido de alta intensidad puede ocasionar pérdida auditiva.
11. Mantenga a las personas alrededor a una distancia
segura del área de trabajo. Cualquier persona que
ingrese al área de trabajo deberá usar equipo de pro-
tección personal. Los fragmentos de la pieza de tra-
bajo o de una rueda rota podrán salir proyectados más
allá del área inmediata de operación y causar lesiones.
12. Cuando realice una operación en la que el acceso-
rio de corte pueda entrar en contacto con cableado
oculto, sujete la herramienta eléctrica únicamente
por las supercies de sujeción aisladas. Si el
accesorio de corte entra en contacto con un cable con
corriente, las piezas metálicas expuestas de la herra-
mienta eléctrica se cargarán también de corriente y el
operador podrá recibir una descarga eléctrica.
13. Nunca deje la herramienta eléctrica hasta que
el accesorio se haya detenido completamente.
La rueda giratoria puede agarrar la supercie y
jalar la herramienta eléctrica haciendo que usted
pierda el control sobre ella.
14.
No tenga encendida la herramienta eléctrica mien-
tras la lleva cargando a un costado. El contacto
accidental con el accesorio giratorio podría enganchar
su ropa y jalar el accesorio hacia su cuerpo.
15. Limpie regularmente los oricios de ventila-
ción de la herramienta eléctrica. El ventilador
del motor atraerá el polvo hacia el interior de la
carcasa y la acumulación excesiva de polvo metá-
lico podría ocasionar riesgos eléctricos.
16. No utilice la herramienta eléctrica cerca de
materiales inamables. Las chispas pueden
prender fuego a estos materiales.
17.
No utilice accesorios que requieran refrigerantes
líquidos. El uso de agua u otros refrigerantes líquidos
puede ocasionar una electrocución o descarga eléctrica.
Retrocesos bruscos y advertencias relacionadas
El retroceso brusco es una reacción repentina a un atora-
miento o enganchamiento de la rueda giratoria. El atora-
miento o enganchamiento ocasiona un rápido atascamiento
de la rueda giratoria que a su vez causa que la herramienta
eléctrica descontrolada sea forzada en la dirección opuesta
al giro de la rueda en el punto de atascamiento.
Por ejemplo, si una rueda abrasiva queda enganchada o
atorada por la pieza de trabajo, el borde de la rueda que
está entrando en el punto de atoramiento puede hundirse
en la supercie del material haciendo que la rueda se salga
o salte. La rueda podrá saltar hacia el operador o en direc-
ción contraria a él, dependiendo de la dirección del movi-
miento de la rueda en el punto de atoramiento. Las ruedas
abrasivas también pueden romperse en estas condiciones.
El retroceso brusco es el resultado de un mal uso de
la herramienta eléctrica y/o de procedimientos o con-
diciones de operación incorrectos y pueden evitarse
tomando las precauciones adecuadas tal como se
indica a continuación.
1. Mantenga sujetada rmemente la herramienta
eléctrica y posicione su cuerpo y brazo de
manera que pueda resistir las fuerzas del
retroceso brusco. De estar disponible, utilice
siempre el mango auxiliar para un control
máximo durante un retroceso brusco o reac-
ción de torsión durante la puesta en marcha
de la herramienta. El operador puede controlar
las reacciones de torsión o fuerzas del retroceso
brusco siempre y cuando se tomen las precaucio-
nes adecuadas.
2. Nunca coloque su mano cerca del accesorio
giratorio. El accesorio puede tener un retroceso
brusco sobre su mano.
3. No coloque su cuerpo en línea con la rueda
giratoria. El retroceso brusco proyectará la herra-
mienta en dirección opuesta al movimiento de la
rueda en el punto de enganchamiento.
4. Tenga especial cuidado al trabajar en esqui-
nas, bordes losos, etc. Evite que el accesorio
rebote o se enganche. Las esquinas, bordes
losos o rebotes tienden a enganchar el accesorio
giratorio y ocasionar la pérdida de control o un
retroceso brusco.
5. No coloque una cadena de sierra, disco para
labrar madera, rueda de diamante segmentada
con un espacio periférico de separación mayor
a 10 mm, ni disco de sierra dentado. Dichos
discos generan un retroceso brusco y pérdida del
control con frecuencia.
6. Evite trabar la rueda o aplicar presión exce-
siva. No intente hacer un corte de profundidad
excesiva. Aplicar presión excesiva a la rueda
incrementa la carga y susceptibilidad a que
se tuerza o atore durante el corte, y de que se
genere un retroceso brusco o rotura de la rueda.
7. Cuando la rueda se atore o se interrumpa el
corte por cualquier razón, apague la herra-
mienta eléctrica y sosténgala sin moverla
hasta que la rueda se detenga por completo.
No intente nunca retirar la rueda del corte
mientras la rueda esté moviéndose por-
que podría ocasionar un retroceso brusco.
Investigue y tome medidas correctivas para elimi-
nar la causa del atoramiento de la rueda.
8. Evite reiniciar la operación de corte en la pieza
de trabajo. Permita que la rueda alcance su
velocidad completa y se reintroduzca con
cuidado en el corte. La rueda puede atorarse,
salirse del camino o generar un retroceso brusco
si la herramienta eléctrica es reiniciada estando
en la pieza de trabajo.
9. Proporcione apoyo a los paneles o cualquier
pieza de trabajo de gran tamaño para minimi-
zar el riesgo de que la rueda se atore y dé un
retroceso brusco. Las piezas de trabajo grandes
tienden a hundirse bajo su propio peso. Deben
colocarse soportes bajo la pieza de trabajo a
ambos lados de la rueda, cerca de la línea de
corte y del borde de la pieza de trabajo.
10. Tenga especial cuidado cuando realice un
“corte de penetración” en las paredes existen-
tes u otras áreas ciegas. La parte saliente de la
rueda puede cortar tuberías de gas o agua, así
como cableado eléctrico u objetos que produzcan
un retroceso brusco.
