6.3. Never place your hands near rotating work tools. If a kickback occurs, the tool may hurt you.
6.4. Avoid standing in the area where the angle grinder will jump when a kickback occurs. The kick
moves the machine in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the tool in the lock zone.
6.5. Work especially cautiously in areas of angles, sharp edges, etc. Avoid repulsion or jamming
of workpieces in the workpiece. In the case of angles or sharp edges, or when the rotating tool
is sharply repelled, there is an increased risk of jamming. This causes loss of machine control or
kickback.
6.6. Do not use chain or jagged cutting sheets. Such work tools often cause a kickback or loss of
control over the angle grinder.
7. Special instructions for safe operation when grinding or cutting with abrasive discs
7.1. Use only the abrasive discs provided with your grinding wheel and the protective sleeve for the
abrasive disk used. Abrasive discs not designed for the angle grinder can not be shielded properly
and do not guarantee safe operation.
7.2. The guard must be securely attached to the angle grinder and positioned so as to provide
maximum safety, e.g. the abrasive disc must not be directed uncovered from the casing to the
machine operator. The casing should protect the machine operator from scrapping of scraped bits
and from entering into contact with the rotating abrasive disc.
7.3. The use of abrasive disks is only allowed for the purposes for which they are intended. For
example: never sand with the side of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are designed to remove material
with its edge. Side force application can break them.
7.4. Always use locking nuts that are in a flawless condition and conform to the size and shape of
the abrasive disc used. The lock nuts for the cutting discs may differ from those for grinding discs.
In some models, the locking nuts can also be used for grinding discs by screwing them on the
opposite side with their protruding part to the disc.
7.5. Do not use worn abrasive discs of larger angle grinders. Discs for larger machines are not
designed for high-speed rotation, with which the smaller ones can rotate and can break.
8. Special instructions for safe operation with cutting discs.
8.1. Avoid locking the blade or pinching it hard. Do not perform too deep cuts. Overloading the
cutting disc increases the risk of jamming or blocking it, and hence the occurrence of kickback or
breakage as it rotates.
8.2. Avoid standing in the area in front of and behind the rotating cutting disc. When the cutting disc
is in a plane with your body, in the event of a kickback, the angle grinder with the rotating disc may
bounce straight to you and hurt you.
8.3. If the cutting disc jammed or when it is interrupted, turn off the angle grinder and leave it only
after the disc has stopped rotating. Never try to remove the rotating disc from the cutting channel,
otherwise a kickback may occur. Determine and eliminate the reason for the jam.
8.4. Do not re-turn the angle grinder if the disc is in the cut-out. Prior to cutting carefully, wait for the
cutting disc to reach its full spin speed. Otherwise, the disc may clog, bounce off the workpiece or
cause a kickback.
8.5. Ensure that the large parts are securely fastened in an appropriate way to reduce the risk of
kickback resulting from a wedge-shaped cutting disc. During cutting, large details can bend under
the force of their own weight. The workpiece should be supported on both sides, both close to the
cutting line and at the other end.
8.6. Be especially careful when slitting channels into walls or other areas that may hide surprises.
The cutting disc may cause the machine to come into contact with gas or water pipes, power lines
or other objects.
9. Special instructions for safe sanding abrasive work.
9.1. Do not use too large sandpaper sheets, observe the manufacturer’s sandpaper guidelines.
9.2. Abrasive paper that runs out of the disk may cause injuries as well as blocking and rupturing of
the sandpaper or a recoil.
10. Special instructions for safe cleaning with wire brushes.
10.1. Do not forget that even in normal operation, the wire brush drops staples. Do not overload
