Machine-Specific Safety Warnings
• Do not use grinding disks with a maximal rotational speed inferior to the grinder’s maximal rotational speed.
• Do not use damaged grinding disks (cracked, split) or not disks which are not appropriate for the material to be grinded.
• Do not use grinding disks which include a reducing bushing.
• Run off load for 30 seconds, when placing any new or reinstalled grinding disks. Keep bystanders in a safe distance while testing the power tool. Stop the tool
immediately in case you detect excessive vibrations and resolve the problem.
• Tighten the clamping flange sufficiently to solidly hold the grinding wheel.
• Carry out rotational speed measurements at regular intervals and necessarily after having reassembled the tool.
• Check that the guard is correctly set and not damaged before switching the tool on.
• Before starting any work, check the condition of the power supply cable and plug.
• Always unplug the tool before handling it (including replacement of grinding disks).
• Do not brutally apply the grinder on the material, and do not apply too much effort when grinding.
• If the rotation speed reduces abnormally, stop the tool immediately and unplug it from the socket.
• Keep pinion gear and roller bearings correctly greased.
• Keep the grinder clean, especially the unit’s air-vents.
• Never use the tool without the protective guard.
• Never press the axle locking button while the grinder is in operation. Before starting any work check that the drive axis did not remain locked.
• Never use cutting disks sideways (example: chamfering)
• Make sure that the grinding disk’s dimensions are compatible with the grinder.
• Grinding disks should be stored or carried with care according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Make sure the grinding disks are mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Warning: a grinding wheel continues to rotate after the grinder is switched off.
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 disks 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. The accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the 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 over the power tool.
Intended Use
Angle grinders are intended for cutting, roughing and brushing metal and stone materials without the use of water.
They can also be used as sanding tools when combined with the appropriate approved sanding disks and pads.
