specified for the battery. For spe-
cific charging instructions, read the operator's
manual supplied with your charger and battery.

Removing/Inserting the Battery

To remove the battery, push in the release buttons
and pull the battery pack away from the tool.
Always remove battery pack before
WARNING
changing or removing accessories.
To insert the battery, slide the pack into the body
of the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place.
Only use accessories specifically
WARNING
recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
Only use accessories with Maximum Safe Operat-
ing Speed rated at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool. This speed is
based on the strength of the accessory, allowing
for a reasonable measure of safety. It is not
meant to imply a best or most efficient operat-
ing speed. Do not exceed the Maximum Safe
Operating Speed.
To reduce the risk of injury, always clean man-
drels before inserting them into the collet and
securely tighten the collet nut and. Otherwise
the high-speed rotation of the tool could force
the accessory to fly out of the collet.
Everyone in the area must wear protective cloth-
ing and safety goggles or face shields. Damaged
accessories may fly apart with considerable
force, causing potential for serious injury.

Installing Accessories

1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove dust and debris from the
collet, collet nut, and accessory
shank.
3. Insert the collet into the spindle.
4. Loosely screw the collet nut onto
the spindle.
5. Insert the accessory shank into
the collet at least 3/4".
6. Press in the spindle lock button
and tighten the collet nut securely
using the 3/8" collet wrench.
NOTE: Do not tighten the collet
nut without an accessory in-
stalled. This could damage the
collet.
7. To install the grinding wheel ac-
cessory, add grinding wheel to
end of accessory shank and se-
cure with screw provided. Press
spindle lock button and tighten
screw with screwdriver end of col-
let wrench. To replace damaged
wheel, reverse procedure.
8. Insert a battery pack and test the
accessory by letting it spin for one
minute before applying it to the
workpiece.
9. To remove, reverse procedure.
To reduce the risk of injury, the
WARNING
operator should be instructed in
the use, care and protection of accessories.

Typical Applications

A large variety of accessories are available for ap-
plications such as grinding, sanding, and cutting.
Grinding/Sanding
Use sanding and grinding accessories that are:
• less than 2" in diameter.
• correct accessory type and grit for the job.
• rated at or above the RPM listed on the tool's
nameplate.
Wheel Brushes
Wire wheel brushes are useful for removing rust,
scale, burrs, weld slag, etc. A wide variety of wire
brushes are available for many applications.
When applying brush to work, avoid using too much
pressure. This causes over-bending of wires and heat
build-up resulting in premature wire breakage, rapid
dulling and reduced brush life. Instead of using more
pressure, try a wire wheel brush with more aggressive
cutting action (increased wire size, decreased wire
length or different brush type, i.e. knot type instead
of crimped wire type).
Cutting
Always handle cutting wheels carefully to avoid
damage. Before installing any wheel, always in-
spect it for cracks. If wheel is cracked, discard it to
prevent others from using it. Cutting wheels should
be protected from:
• wetness and extreme humidity
• any type of solvent
• extreme changes in temperature
• dropping and bumping
If a cutting wheel encounters any of these situations,
discard the wheel immediately.
OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Fuel Gauge
To determine the amount of charge left in the battery,
turn the tool ON. The Fuel Gauge will light up for 2-3
seconds. When less than 10% of charge is left, 1 light
on the fuel gauge will flash slowly.
To signal the end of charge, all lights on the fuel
gauge will flash quickly for 2-3 seconds and the tool
will not run. Charge the battery pack.
To prevent accidental starting, if the battery pack is
inserted when the tool switch is in the ON position,
all lights on the fuel gauge will flash twice and the
tool will not run. Turn the tool off, then back on to
begin work.
If the tool or battery becomes too hot, the fuel gauge
lights will flash in an alternating pattern and the tool
will not run. Allow the tool and battery to cool down.
To protect against high torque, binding, stalling, and
short circuit situations, the tool will shut down and
all the fuel gauge lights will flash. Release the trig-
ger and restart.
