13. If a guard is equipped with the tool never use the tool
without such a guard.
14. Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole abrasive wheels.
15. For tools intended to be fi tted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to
accept the spindle length.
16. Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding.
17. Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create
a hazard e.g. do not hit persons, or ignite fl ammable
substances.
18. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when
working in dusty conditions, if it should become
necessary to clear dust, fi rst disconnect the tool from
the mains supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid
damaging internal parts.
19. Pay attention to the wheel that continues to rotate after
the tool is switched off . After switching off the machine,
do not put it down until the depressed center wheel has
come to a complete stop. Apart from avoiding serious
accidents, this precaution will reduce the amount of dust
and swarf sucked into the machine.
20. Be sure to turn off the switch and pull out the battery to
avoid a serious accident before the depressed center
wheel is assembling and disassembling.
21. To prolong the life of the machine and ensure a fi rst
class fi nish, it is important that the machine should not
be overloaded by applying too much pressure. In most
applications, the weight of the machine alone is suffi cient
for eff ective grinding. Too much pressure will result in
reduced rotational speed, inferior surface fi nish, and
overloading which could reduce the life of the machine.
22. Ensure that fi xing the side handle into the gear cover
securely.
23. Confi rm that the spindle lock button is disengaged by
pushing spindle lock button two or three times before
switching the power tool on. (See Fig. 6, 7)
24. Ensure that the depressed center wheel to be utilized is
the correct type and free of cracks or surface defects.
Also ensure that the depressed center wheel is properly
mounted and the wheel nut is securely tightened.
25. Actuate the spindle lock button only when the tool is at a
standstill.
26. Use cutting wheel (for G14DSL / G18DSL)
When using a abrasive cutting wheel, be sure to remove
the standard accessory wheel guard and attach the
WHEEL GUARD (FOR CUTTING) with side guard (sold
separately). (Fig. 7)
27. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.
28. Make sure that the battery is installed fi rmly. If it is at all
loose it could come off and cause an accident.
29. When the machine is not use, the battery should be
disconnected.
30. To prevent injuries, this product has a function that
prevents unexpected motor rotation when the battery is
inserted. The motor will not run if the battery is inserter
while the switch is still ON. After installing the battery,
turn the switch off and then back on again.
31. The G14DSL / G18DSL / G18DSL(S) models are
equipped with a protection function that will shut down
the tool in the event of an overload.
Should the tool shut down due to an overload, turn the
power off and then turn it back on again.
32. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
33. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
34. Never short-circuit
Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
the rechargeable battery.
35. Do not dispose of the battery in fi re. If the battery is burnt,
it may explode.
36. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the
charger. Inserting metal objects or infl ammables into the
charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock
hazard or damaged charger.
37. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased
as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too
short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted
battery.
CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the
protection function to stop the output.
In the cases of 1 to 3 described below, when using this
product, even if you are pulling the switch, the motor may
stop. This is not the trouble but the result of protection
function.
1. When the battery power remaining runs out, the motor
stops.
In such a case, charge it up immediately.
2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this
case, release the switch of tool and eliminate causes of
overloading. After that, you can use it again.
3. If the battery is overheated under overload work, the
battery power may stop.
In this case, stop using the battery and let the battery
cool. After that, you can use it again.
Furthermore, please heed the following warning and caution.
WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat generation,
smoke emission, explosion and ignition beforehand, please
be sure to heed the following precautions.
1. Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the
battery.
○ During work make sure that swarf and dust do not fall on
the battery.
○ Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the power
tool during work do not collect on the battery.
○ Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed to
swarf and dust.
○ Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and dust that
may adhere to it and do not store it together with metal
parts (screws, nails, etc.).
2. Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a
nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw or subject the
battery to severe physical shock.
3. Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery.
4. Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.
5. Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets or car
cigarette lighter sockets.
6. Do not use the battery for a purpose other than those
specifi ed.
7. If the battery charging fails to complete even when a
specifi ed recharging time has elapsed, immediately stop
further recharging.
8. Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures or
high pressure such as into a microwave oven, dryer, or
high pressure container.
9. Keep away from fi re immediately when leakage or foul
odor are detected.
10. Do not use in a location where strong static electricity
generates.
11. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated,
discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal
during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it
from the equipment or battery charger, and stop use.
