6General Safety Information
1. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions cause a
loss of control.
2. Check for signs of wear or damage, before using the tool and after any impact, and
repair as necessary.
3. The tool is designed for use by adults. Young people over 16 years may use the tool
under supervision only.
4. The manufacturer is not liable for damage which is caused through inappropriate use or
incorrect operation.
1. Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
2. Electrical safety
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the charger cord. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• The use of a RCD (residual current device) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less
is advised for additional safety when using the charging unit.
!
Read all safety warnings. Failure to follow the warnings may result in serious
injury or even death.

General Safety Information
3. Personal Safety
• 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 influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING! Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
WARNING! Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the machine.
• The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as dust mask, protective
gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders. Wear a hairnet if you
have long hair. It is recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and
apron.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off- before connecting to
battery pack, picking up, adjusting or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running. Chips and
splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
• WARNING! Always allow the cut-off wheel to come to a stop
4. Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

8Sharpener Unit Safety
• 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.
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.
• 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.
• WARNING! The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work with the
machine.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• WARNING! Always use the protective shields on the machine. Do not remove the
transparent front guard. If the transparent front guard is damaged or missing, re-turn
tool to authorized service station for replacement.
• Do not use a damaged grinding wheel. Before each use inspect the wheel for chips
and cracks or excess wear. The grinding wheel must be properly mounted and turn
freely. Perform a test run for at least 30 seconds without load. Do not use damaged,
out of round or vibrating grinding wheels.
• Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations or if other
malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to find out the cause.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool.

Battery Safety
• Charge a rechargeable battery unit using only the charger supplied by the
manufacturer. There is the danger of fire if other types of rechargeable battery
units are used.
• When they are not being used, store rechargeable battery units away from paperclips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause the contacts to
be bridged. Short circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery unit may result in
heat damage or fire.
Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery units if they are misused. If this
happens, avoid contact with the fluid. If contact occurs, flush the affected area
with water. Seek additional medical help if any of the fluid gets into your
eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
• 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 first time.
• For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.
• Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 15°C. The battery must be charged for
storage until the second led is lit. Charging needs to be done when the light gets down
to 1 led.
!Safety Warnings for Battery
Store battery with at least 2 leds lit

10 Battery Safety
!Safety Warnings for Battery
• 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.
• Do not throw battery packs into an open fire. There is a risk of explosion!
• Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
• Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of exhaustive 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.
• Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in over-
heating and cell damage inside the battery housing without this overheating actually
being apparent externally.•Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batteries which have
been dropped from a height of more than one metre 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 suffered serious damage. In
this respect, please also read the waste disposal information.
• If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cut-
off will switch off the equipment for safety reasons.
Important. Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off has
actuated. This may damage the battery pack.
• Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a fire risk.
