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.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of
an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
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.
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and / or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
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.
Power tool use and care
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.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children 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.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
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
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.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
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.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
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.

Power Tool-Specific Safety Warnings
Safety Warnings Common for
Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing,
and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Operations such as sanding, wire brushing,
and polishing are not recommended to be
performed with this power tool. Operations
for which the power tool was not designed
may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended by
the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
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 fly
apart.
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.
Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. for
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour
hole of the accessory must fit the locating
diameter of the flange. 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.
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
maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
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 fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden 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.
Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.
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.
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.
Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
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 accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
-5-
which in turn causes the uncontrolled 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 wheels
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.
Maintain a firm 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 kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
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.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for
Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specific guard
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
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.
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 operator from broken wheel
fragments, accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause
them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support
the wheel thus reducing the possibility of
wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels
may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
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 Specific
for Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
Do not “jam” the cut-off 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 or wheel
breakage.
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 spinning wheel and the power tool directly
at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power
tool and hold the power tool motionless until
the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from
the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate
Power Tool-Specific Safety Warnings

Additional Safety Warnings
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for
your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful
not to disassemble any portion of the tool
since internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched or safety guard return springs may
be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Use only Bosch BAT414 or the batteries
listed in the battery /charger list. Using
other types of batteries may result in
personal injury or property damage.
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 accidents.
Always inspect accessories for damage
(breakage, cracks) before each use. Never
use if damage is suspected.
Do not use vacuum or other dust collection
system when cutting metal. Sparks from
metal cutting can cause fire in the collector.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may
bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. 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.
Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
Do not use type 1 abrasive wheels designed
for straight grinding.
Do not attempt to cut large stock or sheets
of metal as this machine is not designed to
be a dedicated cut-off machine.

Automatic Restart Protection:
Helps prevent accidental startups after power
has been interrupted, e.g. the tool was
unplugged with the switch locked in the on
position. To resume operation, turn on/off
switch to the off position, then restart the
tool. See the chart under Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 to
find out which grinders are equipped with the
Automatic Restart Protection.
Overload Protection:
Helps protect tool from excessive heat that
may damage motor. If tool stops or slows
during operation, allow motor to cool for 30
seconds by running no-load. If the overload
protection stops the tool repeatedly,
excessive force is causing the tool to
overload. Stop excessive force and readjust
work piece to reduce force applied.
Let the grinder
accessory come to a
complete stop before setting the tool
down. The brake action of this grinder is
not intended as a safety feature. Using the
appropriate guard when operating the
grinder is your best protection against
unintentional contact with a spinning
accessory. Unintended contact with a
rotating accessory can cause property
damage and\or personal injury.
Know the charge state of
your battery. The
electric braking action is initiated ONLY by
the release of the trigger switch and in a
tool that has power available. When
electrical power is lost due to a discharged
battery or other causes, the electric brake
will not operate and the motor will
gradually slow down. Unexpected run down
time may cause property damage and/or
personal injury.
Your grinder is equipped with an automatic
electric brake which is designed to rapidly
stop the accessory from spinning after you
release the side trigger switch. This feature
helps improve jobsite productivity.
Braking starts once the power is turned off.
The brake requires a charged battery to
function. Stopping time will vary depending
on, among other factors, accessory used,
and number of actuations. The electric
brake of your grinder has been designed for
a high degree of reliability, but unexpected
circumstances such as contamination or
failure of the motor’s components can
cause the brake to not activate. If the tool
operates but the brake does not
consistently stop the accessory, DO NOT
use the grinder and have it serviced by a
Bosch Factory Service Center or Bosch
authorized service facility.

Operating Instructions
Grinding Operations
SELECTING GRINDING WHEELS
Rated RPM of the
grinding or cutting wheel
must be greater or equal to maximum RPM
marked on the nameplate of the tool. Do not
use wheels rated at lower RPM than the
maximum RPM marked on the nameplate of
the tool.
GRINDING WHEELS
Grinding wheels should be carefully selected
in order to use the grinder most efficiently.
Wheels vary in type of abrasive, bond,
hardness, grit size and structure. The correct
type of wheel to use is determined by the job.
Use grinding wheels for fast grinding of
structural steel, weld beads, steel casting,
stainless steel and other ferrous metals.
GRINDING TIPS
Efficient grinding is achieved by controlling
the pressure and keep ing the angle between
wheel and workpiece at 10° to 15° (Fig. 6). If
the wheel is flat, the tool is difficult to control.
If the angle is too steep, the pressure is
concentrated on a small area causing burning
to the work surface.
Excessive or sudden
pressure on the wheel
will slow grinding action and put dangerous
stresses on the wheel.
When grinding with a new wheel be certain to
grind while pulling tool backwards until wheel
becomes rounded on its edge. New wheels
have sharp corners which tend to “bite” or
cut into work piece when pushing forward.
Cutting Operations
METAL CUTTING
With this grinder it is possible to perform
cutting of limited small stock such as metal
tubes, piping or rebar. When cutting, work
with moderate feed, adapted to the material
being cut. When cutting profiles and square
bar, it is best to start at the smallest cross
section.
Always follow precautions for kickback.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching the tool to the work surface.
2. The tool should always be used in such way
that the sparks are directed away from
user.
3.Apply minimum pressure to the work
surface, allowing the tool to operate at
high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when
the tool operates at high speed.
4. Do not exert side pressure onto the cutting
disc. Do not tilt or oscillate the tool as
wheel may burst, (Fig. 7).
5. Remove the tool from the work surface
before turning the tool off. Allow the tool
to stop rotating before laying it down.

system and personal dust protection, e.g.
respirator, dust mask, etc. The vacuum used
for this application must be approved for the
application. Bosch sells suitable vacuum
cleaners.
Never pull the tool
backward since blade will
climb out of the material and KICKBACK will
occur.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching the tool to the work surface.
2. If plunge cutting:
a. Tilt tool forward with wheel lined up
with the cut line and hold the tool by the
grinder body (Fig. 8).
b. Gradually lower the rear of tool using the
front end of the guard as the hinge
point.
c. With the guard on the surface, proceed
cutting in forward direction to end of
cut.
3.Always maintain contact between the
guard and work piece.
4. Slide the tool forward at a moderate speed
adapted to the material being cut. Always
cut towards the dust extraction port to
maximize dust extraction and reduce
likelihood of kickback (Fig. 9).
5. Apply minimum pressure to the work
surface, allowing the tool to operate at
high speed. Cutting rate is greatest when
the tool operates at high speed.
6. When the cut is completed, remove tool
from work piece before turning off. Allow
wheel to stop rotating before setting tool
down.
When cutting especially hard material, e. g.,
concrete with high pebble content, the dry
diamond wheel can overheat and become
damaged. This is clearly indicated by circular
sparking of the rotating dry diamond wheel.
In this case, interrupt the cutting process and
allow the dry diamond wheel to cool by
running the tool for a short period of time at
the maximum speed with no-load.
Noticeable decreasing work progress and
circular sparking are indications of a dry
diamond wheel that has become dull. Briefly
cutting into abrasive materials (e. g. brick)
can resharpen the wheel.

curité du lieu de travail
Maintenez le lieu de travail propre et bien éclai. Les
risques d’accident sont plus élevés quand on travaille dans
un endroit encombré ou sombre.
Nutilisez pas doutils électroportatifs dans des
atmosphères explosives, comme par exemple en
présence de gaz, de poussières ou de liquides
inflammables. Les outils électroportatifs produisent des
étincelles qui risquent d’enflammer les poussières ou les
vapeurs.
Éloignez les enfants et les visiteurs quand vous vous
servez d’un outil électroportatif. Vous risquez une perte
de contrôle si on vous distrait.
curité électrique
Les fiches des outils électroportatifs doivent
correspondre à la prise. Il ne faut absolument jamais
modifier la fiche. N’utilisez pas d’adaptateur de prise
avec des outils électroportatifs munis d’une fiche de
terre. Le risque de choc électrique est moindre si on utilise
une fiche non modifiée sur une prise qui lui correspond.
Évitez tout contact du corps avec des surfaces reles à
la terre tels que tuyaux, radiateurs, gazinières ou
frigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique augmente si
votre corps est relié à la terre.
N’exposez pas les outils électroportatifs à la pluie ou à
l’humidité. Si de l’eau pénètre dans un outil
électroportatif, le risque de choc électrique augmente.
Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne vous en servez jamais
pour transporter l’outil électroportatif, pour le tirer ou
pour le débrancher. Éloignez le cordon de la chaleur,
des huiles, des arêtes coupantes ou des pièces mobiles.
Les cordons abîmés ou emmêlés augmentent les risques
de choc électrique.
Si vous utilisez un outil électroportatif à l’extérieur,
employez une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur. Ces
rallonges sont faites pour l’exrieur et duisent le risque
de choc électrique.
S'il est absolument nécessaire d'utiliser l'outil
électroportatif dans un endroit humide, utilisez une
alimentation protégée par un disjoncteur de fuite de
terre (GFCI). L'utilisation d'un disjoncteur GFCI réduit les
risques de choc électrique.
curité personnelle
Restez concentré, faites attention à ce que vous faites,
et servez-vous de votre bon sens lorsque vous utilisez
un outil électroportatif. N'employez pas d’outils
électroportatifs quand vous êtes fatigué ou sous
l’emprise de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments.
Veuillez lire tous les avertissements et toutes les consignes de sécuri. Si l'on
n'observe pas ces avertissements et ces consignes decuri, il existe un risque de
choc électrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessures corporelles graves.
CONSERVEZ TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES CONSIGNES
DE SÉCURITÉ POUR RÉFÉRENCE FUTURE.
Dans les avertissements, le terme « outil électroportatif » se rapporte à votre outil branché sur le secteur (avec fil) ou à
votre outil alimen par piles (sans fil).
Avertissements généraux concernant la sécurité des outils électroportatifs
Symboles relatifs à la sécurité
Les définitions ci-dessous décrivent le niveau de gravité pour chaque terme signalant un danger.
Veuillez lire le mode d’emploi et lire la signification de ces symboles.
!
C’est le symbole d’alerte relatif à la sécurité. Il est utilisé pour vous
avertir de l’existence possible d’un danger de lésion corporelle.
Obéissez à tous les messages relatifs à la sécurité qui suivent ce
symbole pour éviter tout risque de blessure ou même de mort.

-20-
Quand on utilise des outils électroportatifs, il suffit d’un
moment d’inattention pour causer des blessures
corporelles graves.
Utilisez des équipements de sécurité personnelle.
Portez toujours une protection oculaire. Le port
d'équipements de sécurité tels que des masques
antipoussières, des chaussures de sécurité
antidérapantes, des casques de chantier et des
protecteurs d'oreilles dans des conditions appropriées
duira le risque de blessure corporelle.
Évitez les démarrages intempestifs. Assurez-vous que
l'interrupteur est dans la position arrêt (Off) avant de
brancher l'outil dans une prise de courant et/ou un bloc-
piles, de le ramasser ou de le transporter. Le transport
d'un outil électroportatif avec le doigt sur la gâchette ou le
branchement de cet outil quand l'interrupteur est en
position de marche (ON) est une invite aux accidents.
Enlevez toutes les clés de réglage avant de mettre
l’outil électroportatif en marche. Si on laisse une clé sur
une pce tournante de l’outil électroportatif, il y a risque de
blessure corporelle.
Ne vous penchez pas. Conservez toujours une bonne
assise et un bon équilibre. Ceci vous permettra de mieux
maîtriser l’outil électroportatif dans des situations
inattendues.
Habillez-vous de manière appropriée. Ne portez pas de
vêtements amples ou de bijoux. Attachez les cheveux
longs. N’approchez pas les cheveux, les vêtements ou
les gants des pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements
amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent d’être
happés par les pces en mouvement.
Si l’outil est muni de dispositifs permettant le
raccordement d’un système d’aspiration et de collecte
des poussières, assurez-vous que ces dispositifs sont
raccordés et utilisés correctement. L'utilisation d'un
dépoussiéreur peut réduire les dangers associés à
l'accumulation de poussière.
Utilisation et entretien des outils
électroportatifs
Ne forcez pas l’outil électroportatif. Utilisez l’outil
électroportatif qui convient à la tâche à effectuer.
L’outil qui convient à la tâche fait un meilleur travail et est
plus sûr à la vitesse pour lequel il a é conçu.
Ne vous servez pas de l’outil électroportatif si son
interrupteur ne parvient pas à le mettre en marche ou à
l’arrêter. Tout outil électroportatif qui ne peut pas être
comman par son interrupteur est dangereux et doit être
pa.
Débranchez la fiche de la prise ou enlevez le bloc-pile
de l’outil électroportatif avant tout réglage,
changement d’accessoires ou avant de ranger l’outil
électroportatif. De telles mesures de sécurité préventive
réduisent le risque de démarrage intempestif de l’outil
électroportatif.
Rangez les outils électroportatifs dont vous ne vous
servez pas hors de pore des enfants et ne permettez
pas à des personnes qui ne connaissent pas l’outil
électroportatif ou qui ignorent ces consignes de s’en
servir. Les outils électroportatifs sont dangereux dans les
mains d’utilisateurs inexpérimens.
Entretenez les outils électroportatifs. Vérifiez que les
pièces mobiles sont alignées correctement et ne
coincent pas. rifiez qu’il n’y a pas de pièces cassées
ou d’autre circonstance qui risquent d’affecter le
fonctionnement de l’outil électroportatif. Si l’outil est
abîmé, faites-le réparer avant de l’utiliser. De nombreux
accidents sont causés par des outils électroportatifs mal
entretenus.
Maintenez les outils coupants affûtés et propres. Les
outils coupants entretenus correctement et dotés de bords
tranchants affûtés sont moins susceptibles de coincer et
sont plus faciles à maîtriser.
Utilisez l'outil électroportatif, les accessoires et les
embouts d'outil, etc. conforment à ces instructions,
en tenant compte des conditions de travail et des
travaux à aliser. L'emploi d’outils électroportatifs pour
des tâches différentes de celles pour lesquelles ils ont été
prévus peut sulter en une situation dangereuse.
Utilisation et entretien des outils à piles
Rechargez les piles uniquement avec le chargeur
spécif par le fabriquant. Un chargeur qui convient à un
type de bloc-piles peut entraîner un risque d’incendie
quand il est utili avec un autre bloc-piles.
Utilisez des outils électroportatifs uniquement avec les
bloc-piles spécifiquement désignés pour eux.
L’utilisation de tout autre bloc-piles peut créer un risque de
blessures et d’incendie.
Lorsque le bloc-piles n’est pas utilisé, gardez-le à
distances d’autres objets métalliques tels que des
trombones, des pièces de monnaie, des clés, des clous,
des vis ou de tout autre objet métallique pouvant faire
une connexion entre une borne et une autre. Court-
circuiter les bornes des piles peut causer des brûlures ou
un incendie.
Dans des conditions abusives, du liquide peut être
éjecté de la pile ; dans un tel cas, évitez tout contact
avec ce liquide. Si un contact se produit
accidentellement, rincez avec de l’eau. Si le liquide
entre en contact avec les yeux, consultez un decin.
Du liquide éjecté de la pile peut causer des irritations ou
des brûlures.
Entretien
Faites réparer votre outil électroportatif par un agent
de service qualifié n’utilisant que des pièces de
rechange identiques. Ceci assure que la sécurité de l’outil
électroportatif est présere.
