GENERAL SAFETY RULES

USA003-2

(FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS)

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below,

may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-

ous personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

4. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or

a separate battery pack must be recharged only

with the specified charger for the battery. A

charger that may be suitable for one type of battery

may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-

tery.

5. Use battery operated tool only with specifically

designated battery pack. Use of any other batter-

ies may create a risk of fire.

Personal Safety

6. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use tool while tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inat-

tention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-

ing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in mov-

ing parts.

8. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in

the locked or off position before inserting bat-

tery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the

switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with

the switch on invites accidents.

9. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-

ing the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left

attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in

personal injury.

10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control of the tool in unexpected situ-

ations.

11. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection must be used for appropriate con-

ditions.

Tool Use and Care

12. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-

ing the work by hand or against your body is unsta-

ble and may lead to loss of control.

13. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your

application. The correct tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

14. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or

off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

15. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the

switch in the locked or off position before mak-

ing any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

16. Store idle tools out of reach of children and

other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in

the hands of untrained users.

17. 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.

18. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools

sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

19. 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.

20. 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

21. Tool service must be performed only by quali-

fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-

formed by unqualified personnel could result in a

risk of injury.

22. When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement 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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

USB063-1

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with

product (gained from repeated use)

replace strict adherence to grinder safety

rules. If you use this tool unsafely or

incorrectly, you can suffer serious per-

sonal injury.

1. Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A

guard protects operator from broken wheel frag-

ments.

2. 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.

3. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing 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.

4. When using depressed center grinding wheels,

be sure to use only fiberglass-reinforced wheels.

5. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary

eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.

6. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage

before operation. Replace cracked or damaged

wheel immediately. Run the tool (with guard) at

no load for about a minute, holding tool away

from others. If wheel is flawed, it will likely sepa-

rate during this test.

7. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

8. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange

(especially the installing surface) or the lock nut.

Damage to these parts could result in wheel

breakage.

9. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades or

other sawblades. Such blades when used on a

grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control

leading to personal injury.

10. Hold the tool firmly.

11. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

12. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the work-

piece before the switch is turned on.

13. 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.

14. Use the specified surface of the wheel to per-

form the grinding.

15. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that

sparks fly away from you and other persons or

flammable materials.

16. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

17. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could

burn your skin.

18. ALWAYS wear proper apparel including long

sleeve shirts, leather gloves and shop aprons to

protect skin from contact with hot grindings.

19. Use of this tool to grind or sand some products,

paints and wood could expose user to dust con-

taining hazardous substances. Use appropriate

respiratory protection.

flow, overheating, possible burns and

even a breakdown.

6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in

locations where the temperature may reach or

exceed 50°C (122°F).

7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it

is severely damaged or is completely worn out.

The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged.

Always stop tool operation and charge the bat-

tery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-

tridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temper-

ature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot bat-

tery cartridge cool down before charging it.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or

Installing or removing battery cartridge

• Always switch off the tool before insertion or

removal of the battery cartridge.

• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from

the tool while sliding the button on the front of the

cartridge.

• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on

the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing

and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way

until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see

the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not

locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part

cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of

the tool, causing injury to you or someone around

you.

CAUTION:

• Never actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is

moving. The tool may be damaged.

Press the shaft lock to prevent spindle rotation when

installing or removing accessories.

Switch action

CAUTION:

• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the slide switch actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when the

rear of the slide switch is depressed.

• Switch can be locked in “ON” position for ease of

operator comfort during extended use. Apply cau-

tion when locking tool in “ON” position and maintain

firm grasp on tool.

To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the “I (ON)”

position. For continuous operation, press the front of the

slide switch to lock it.

To stop the tool, press the rear of the slide switch, then

slide it toward the “O (OFF)” position.

Indication lamp with multi function

Indication lamps are located in two positions.

When the battery cartridge is inserted on the tool with the

slide switch positioned in the “O (OFF)” position, the indi-

cation lamp flickers quickly for approximately one sec-

ond. If it does not flicker so, the battery cartridge or

indication lamp has broken.

- Overload protection

- When the tool is overloaded, the indication

lamp lights up. When the load on the tool is

reduced, the lamp goes out.

- If the tool continues to be overloaded and the

indication lamp continues to light up for approx-

imately two seconds, the tool stops. This pre-

vents the motor and its related parts from being

damaged.

- In this case, to start the tool again, move the

slide switch to the “O (OFF)” position once and

then to the “I (ON)” position.

- Battery cartridge replacing signal

- When the remaining battery capacity gets

small, the indicator lamp lights up during opera-

tion earlier than enough capacity battery use.

- Accidental re-start preventive function

- Even if the battery cartridge is inserted on the

tool with the slide switch in the “I (ON)” position,

the tool does not start. At this time, the lamp

flickers slowly and this shows that the acciden-

tal re-start preventive function is at work.

- To start the tool, first slide the slide switch

toward the “O (OFF)” position and then slide it

toward the “I (ON)” position.

OPERATION

WARNING:

• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The

weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forc-

ing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous

wheel breakage.

• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while

grinding.

• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto

work.

• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially

when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can

cause loss of control and kickback.

• NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other

sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder

frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to

personal injury.

CAUTION:

• Make the depth of a single cut up to 5 mm. Adjust

pressure on the tool so that the tool does not slow

down during the operation.

• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait

until the wheel has come to a complete stop before

putting the tool down.

• If the tool is operated continuously until the battery

cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for

15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.

Grinding and sanding operation

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing

and the other on the side handle. 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 degrees to the workpiece surface.

During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work

the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the work-

piece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off

by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B direc-

tion.

Operation with diamond wheel

(optional accessory )

CAUTION:

• Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive pres-

sure. 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.

• 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 work-

piece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up or kick-

back if the power tool is started in the workpiece.

• A diamond wheel shall be operated perpendicular

to the material being cut.

Operation with wire cup brush

(optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Check operation of brush by running tool with no

load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line with

brush.

• Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out

of balance. Use of damaged brush could increase

potential for injury from contact with broken brush

wires.

Remove the battery cartridge from the tool and place it

upside down allowing easy access to spindle. Remove

any accessories on spindle. Thread wire cup brush onto

spindle and tighten with supplied wrench. When using

brush, avoid applying too much pressure which causes

over bending of wires, leading to premature breakage.

Operation with wire wheel brush

(optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Check operation of wire wheel brush by running

tool with no load, insuring that no one is in front of

or in line with the wire wheel brush.

• Do not use wire wheel brush that is damaged, or

which is out of balance. Use of damaged wire

wheel brush could increase potential for injury from

contact with broken wires.

• ALWAYS use guard with wire wheel brushes,

assuring diameter of wheel fits inside guard. Wheel

can shatter during use and guard helps to reduce

chances of personal injury.

Remove the battery cartridge from the tool and place it

upside down allowing easy access to spindle. Remove

any accessories on spindle. Thread wire wheel brush

onto spindle and tighten with the wrenches.

When using wire wheel brush, avoid applying too much

pressure which causes over bending of wires, leading to

premature breakage.

Operation with abrasive cut-off wheel

WARNING:

• When using an abrasive cut-off wheel, be sure to

use only the special wheel guard designed for use

with cut-off wheels.

• NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.

• Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive pres-

sure. 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.

• 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 work-

piece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up or kick-

back if the power tool is started in the workpiece.

• During cutting operations, never change the angle

of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off

wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack

and break, causing serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before attempting to

perform inspection or maintenance.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

GEA002-3

WARNING:

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in elec-

tric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The

term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed

below refers to your mains-operated

(corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and

dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while oper-

ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

Electrical safety

4. 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electric shock.

7. 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.

8. 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.

Personal safety

9. 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.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

15. 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

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

22. 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 con-

ditions 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

23. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack

into power tools that have the switch on invites acci-

dents.

24. 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.

25. Use power tools only with specifically desig-

nated battery packs. Use of any other battery

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

26. 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.

27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery, avoid contact. If contact acci-

dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-

tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause irritation or

burns.

Service

28. 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.

29. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing

accessories.

30. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and

grease.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

GEB008-2

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with

any work on the tool.

Installing or removing the saw blade

CAUTION:

• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adher-

ing to the blade, blade clamp and/or slider. Failure

to do so may cause insufficient tightening of the

blade, resulting in a serious injury.

To install the saw blade, always make sure that the blade

clamp lever is in released position on the insulation

cover before inserting the saw blade. If the blade clamp

lever is in fixed position, rotate the blade clamp lever in

the direction of the arrow so that it can be locked at the

released positon .

Insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as it will

go. The blade clamp lever rotates and the saw blade is

fixed. Make sure that the saw blade cannot be extracted

even though you try to pull it out.

NOTE:

• If you do not insert the saw blade deep enough, the

saw blade may be ejected unexpectedly during

operation. This can be extremely dangerous.

To remove the saw blade, rotate the blade clamp lever in

the direction of the arrow fully. The saw blade is removed

and the blade clamp lever is fixed at the released position

.

NOTE:

• If you remove the saw blade without rotating the

blade clamp lever fully, the lever may not be locked

in the released positon . In this case, rotate the

blade clamp lever fully again, then make sure that

the blade clamp lever locked at the released posi-

tion .

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Always press the shoe firmly against the workpiece

during operation. If the shoe is held away from the

workpiece during operation, strong vibration and/or

twisting will be produced, causing the blade to snap

dangerously.

• Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot

flying chips when cutting metal.

• Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection

which conforms with current national standards.

• Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cut-

ting metal. Failure to do so will cause premature

blade wear.

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

4. 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

7. 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.

8. 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.

Personal Safety

9. 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.

10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will

reduce personal injuries.

11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is

in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the switch or

plugging in power tools that have the switch on

invites accidents.

12. 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.

13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving

parts.

15. If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly used.
