ENGLISH
(Original instructions)
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 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 reaction 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 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 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.
c. 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 and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f. 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
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SMALL
ANGLE GRINDERS
• Use the guard and ensure it is fitted
correctly.
• Check mounting flanges and the disc are
correctly fitted and are undamaged.
• Ensure you are using the correct size and
type of disc for the task.
• Ensure the disc, wire brush and sanding
accessories are rated in excess of the
spindle rpm of your angle grinder. Allow a
newly assembled wheel to idle offload for
30 seconds before starting any operation.
