SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANGLE
GRINDERS
General safety instructions for all types of
grinding.
• This power tool is intended to be used as a
grinder. Read all the safety instructions,
other instructions, illustrations and
specifications supplied with this power
tool. Failure to follow all the instructions
below can result in the risk of electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
• This power tool can be used for grinding
and steel brushing. Using the tool for any
other purpose can be dangerous and
cause personal injury.
• This power tool is not intended to be used
for polishing.
• Do not use accessories that are not
specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because an
accessory can be connected to the power
tool does not mean it is safe to use.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be
at least equal to the specified maximum
speed of the power tool. Accessories run
faster than the specified rated speed can
break or shatter.
• The outer diameter and thickness of the
accessory must be within the rated
capacity of the power tool. Accessories of
the wrong size cannot be properly
protected and controlled.
• Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the spindle thread on the grinder.
For flange-fitted accessories, the spindle
hole must match the control diameter of
the flange. Accessories that do not fit the
attachments on the tool will be
unbalanced, vibrate excessively and can
cause you to lose control of the tool.
• Do not use damaged accessories. Before
using the tool always check the accessory
and make sure, for example, that the
edges of grinding discs are not damaged,
that there are no cracks or wear on the
backing pad, and that the steel brush
does not have any loose or damaged
bristles. If you drop the power tool or an
accessory, check that it is not damaged, or
fit an undamaged accessory. After
checking and fitting an accessory, position
yourself and other people in the vicinity
away from the direction of rotation of the
accessory and then run the tool at its
maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break
during this test period.
• Wear safety equipment. Depending on
the application, you should wear a visor,
goggles or safety glasses. When necessary
you should wear a dust mask, ear
protection, gloves and an apron that can
stop shavings and fragments from the
workpiece. The eye protection must be
able to stop flying debris produced by
using the tool in different ways. The dust
or breathing mask must be able to filter
out the particles produced by the tool.
Prolonged exposure to intense noise can
impair hearing.
• Keep onlookers at a safe distance from the
work area. Everyone coming into the work
area must wear personal safety
equipment. Fragments from the
workpiece, or from a defective accessory,
can fly out and cause personal injury
outside the actual work area.
• Hold the tool with the insulated grips if
there is a risk of coming into contact with
hidden wiring or the power cord to the
tool. When cutting accessories come into
contact with a live wire, unprotected
metal parts on the tool can become live
and give the user an electric shock.
• Position the power cord so that it cannot
come into contact with the rotating
accessory. If you lose control, the power
cord can be cut or get stuck, and your
hand or arm could be pulled into the
rotating accessory.
• Never put down the power tool until the
accessory has completely stopped. The
rotating accessory can catch on the
surface and cause you to lose control of
