Safety warnings for angle grinders
This power tool is intended to function as a cutting tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions
and specifications provided.Failure to follow the instructions outlined below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury:
• Never use discs with bigger diameter
than the size required in the tool.
• Use only discs or accessories than
11 000 RPM speeds.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to
the maximum speed marked on the tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed may break and
become detached.
• Use only discs or accessories with an
orifice that fits perfectly in the tool spindle.
• Use only discs or accessories specifically
designed for the chosen material.
Keep present people at a safe distance from the work area.
Anyone entering the work area should wear personal
protective equipment.
• Set apart some time and assess the job you are about to
do. Pay attention to all the necessary cautions before
starting to grind.
• Remove all the fastening wrenches from
the tool. Otherwise they can shoot away causing sever
injuries to the user.
• Double-check the guard. It should be
perfectly fastened and in good working condition. Do not
use the tool without a guard. Fragments of workpieces or a
broken accessory can break off and cause damage beyond
the immediate area of operation.
• Double-check the disc. It should not be
broken or cracked. Tap the disc gently with a wooden
hammer and listen for a strange sound to learn if is
cracked.
• Before plugging the tool, see if is in the
OFF position. Otherwise the tool could start unexpectedly
causing severe injuries.
• Run the tool 30 seconds before using,
to detect important vibration or any type of unusual
movement. If detected, unplug the tool and take it to a
Authorized Service Center.
• See if the disc rotates freely.
• Do not tighten the disc. It could brake.
• To work with small work pieces fasten
with wrenches. Never use your hands to hold the piece.
Do not place saw discs for wood or a
serrated blade. Such blades create frequent kickbacks and
loss of control.
• Wear safety glasses, gloves
and an apron when using the tool.
• Keep the power cable or extension
in the back of the tool. Avoid accidentally damaging the
cables with the disc.
• If control of the power tool is lost, the cable may be cut
or tangled and the operator's arm or hand may be pulled
toward the rotary attachment.
• Never hold the tool by the power
cable. Hold by the housing or auxiliary handle.
• Hold the tool by the isolated parts.
The cutting tool could come into contact with hidden
wiring or its own cable. Making contact with a “live” wire
causes the metal parts to electrify and give an electric
shock to the user.
• Never let go of the power tool until the attachment
comes to a complete stop.
• Never hit the work surface with the disc.
• To get the best result with the grinding
process, the inclination of the disc and the working
surface should have an angle measuring 15° to 30°
• When the disc is rotating never use the
spindle lock to stop it. It is very dangerous and may cause
injuries to the user.
• Do not touch the disc or the working
piece after grinding. Wait for them to cool down. Never
try to cool them down using water or oil.
• Before checking, adjusting or
changing discs, double-check the tool is not plugged in.
• Do not use the power tool near flammable materials.
• Do not operate the tool while it is being transported to
your side.
• Sparks caused when grinding may be
dangerous. Use caution. Make sure sparks do not get into
contact with skin or flammable substances.
• Gradually clean the tool's vents. The motor fan directs
dust into the housing and excessive accumulation of
metal dust can cause an electrical hazard.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid refrigerants.
The use of water or other liquid refrigerants can result in
an electric shock.
