u
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in-
juries.
u
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en-
ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
u
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
u
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
u
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
u
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
u
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
u
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
u
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
u
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
u
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
u
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
u
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
u
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 information for the angle grinder
Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire
Brushing or Abrasive Cutting Off operations
u
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifica-
tions provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
u
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 haz-
ard and cause personal injury.
u
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.
u
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.
u
The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
u
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.
u
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 in-
stall an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystand-
ers 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.
u
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-
