SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire

Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,

sander, wire brush, 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.

b) Operations as 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.

c) 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.

d) 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.

e) 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.

f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any

other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power

tool.

Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the

mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,

vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

g) 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.

h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on

application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety

glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing

protectors, gloves and shop 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.

i) 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.

j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,

when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a „live“ wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool „live“ and shock the operator.

k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.

If you

lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or

arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

l) 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.

m) 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.

n) 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.

o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.

Sparks could ignite these materials.

p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution

or shock.

WARNING

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in

EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different

applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the

exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is

running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the

accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

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 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 wheel’s 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.

a) 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.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) 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.

d) 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.

e) 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:

a) 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.

b) 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 and accidental

contact with wheel.

c) 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.

d) 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.

e) 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:

a) 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.

b) 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.

c) 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 and take corrective action to eliminate the

cause of wheel binding.

d) 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.

e) 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.

f) 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.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:

a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.

Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting

sanding paper.

Larger sanding paper extending beyond the

sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause

snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:

a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush

even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the

wires by applying excessive load to the brush.

The wire

bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing,

do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush

with the guard.

Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter

due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Appliances used at many different locations including open air

should be connected via a residual current device of 30 mA or

less.
Dust and splinters must not be removed while the machine is

running.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Never reach into the danger area of the tool when it is running.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
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.

Always use and store the grinding disks according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care

that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire,

no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity

(spark flight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust flying

from the workpiece come into contact with you.
When separating stone the guide shoe must be used!
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work

with the machine.

The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be

steady. Never lead the workpiece to the grinding disk with your

hand.

Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with

the arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding wheel), significant

contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder.

For safety reasons, in such conditions the inside should be

cleaned thoroughly of metal deposits and a motor circuit-

breaker must be connected in series. If the motor circuit-

breaker trips the machine must be sent for repair.

For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,
