General precautions for grinding, for wire
brushes or cut-off wheels
►
This power tool is designed for sand-
ing, sanding, wire brushing or abrasive
cutting. Read all safety instructions,
instructions, illustrations, and specifi-
cations provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow any of the instructions
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 designed and recom-
mended 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 accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool.
In-
correctly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately 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 mount-
ing hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
►
Do not use a damaged accessory. Be-
fore each use inspect 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 acces-
sory 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.
Damaged ac-
cessories will normally break apart during
this test time.
►
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face

es. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and work-
shop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The
eye protection must be capable of stopping
flying debris generated by various opera
-
tions . The dust mask or respirator must
be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
►
During the operation of the angle grinder,
the gearbox housing heats up, this is due
to the rotation of the conical pair at high
speeds. To avoid burns while working with
the tool, do not touch the gearbox housing,
use protective gloves and an additional
handle during operation.
►
Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
