ADDITONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ANGLE GRINDERS
a) This power tool is intended to function
as a grinder or cutoff tool. Read all safe-
ty warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brush-
ing or polishing are not recommended to
be performed with this power tool. Op-
erations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because
the accessory can be attached to your pow-
er tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) 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.
e) The outside diameter and the thick-
ness of your accessory must be within
the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges,
backing pads or any other accessory
must properly fit the spindle of the pow-
er tool. Accessories with arbour holes that
do not match the mounting hardware of the
power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks.
If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undam-
aged accessory. After inspecting and in-
stalling 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 accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop 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 fil-
trating particles generated by your opera-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of op-
eration.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
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 opera-
tor an electric shock.
k) 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 accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the sur-
face and pull the power tool out of your con-
trol.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your cloth-
ing, pulling the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air
vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumula-
tion of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
