• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control .
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc . in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed .
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation .
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts . This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained .
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ANGLE GRINDER
• This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush or cut-off tool . Read all safety warn-
ings, instructions, illustrations and specifications pro-
vided with this power tool . Failure to follow all instruc-
tions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury .
• Operations such 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 .
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-
signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer .
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation .
• 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 .
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-
sory must be within the capacity rating of your power
tool . Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled .
• Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread . For accessories mounted by
flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange . Accessories that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss
of control .
• Do not use a damaged accessory . Before each use in-
spect 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 . Dam-
aged accessories will normally break apart during this
test time .
• Wear personal protective equipment . Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses . As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protec-
tors, 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 opera-
tion . Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss .
• 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 .
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting acces-
sory 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 could give the
operator an electric shock .
• 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 wheel .
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop . The spinning wheel may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of your control .
• 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 .
• 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 .
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-
als . Sparks could ignite these materials .
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants . Us-
ing water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-
cution or shock .
Kickback and related warnings
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged ro-
tating 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 accesso-
ry’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 pinch-
ing . Abrasive wheels may also break under these condi-
tions . 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 . Ac-
cessory may kickback over your hand .
• 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 .
