• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories operated faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
• Diameter and thickness of the wheel must be appropriate for the power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
• Mounting of the wheels, flanges or other accessories must match the spindle
thread of the angle grinder. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware
of the power tool are likely to run out of balance; vibrate and are likely to cause
loss of control.
• Do not cut workpiece with diameter greater than the maximum cut depth of the
cut-off wheel.
• Keep the power cord away from the spinning wheel. If you loose control, the power
cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
wheel.
• Inspect workpiece for any nails and remove them before operation.
• Check for proper clearance beyond he workpiece before cutting so that the wheel will
not strike the floor, workbench etc.
• Hold the power tool with a firm grip with both hands (if possible) and keep a good
balance . The power tool is best guided with both hands. A strong torque reaction may
occur if a wheel gets locked.
• Secure the workpiece. Never hold the workpiece in your hand or across your legs
or against your body . A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand. An unstable workpiece can cause loss of control of the tool
and/or injury.
• Keep hands away from the working range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact
with the wheel can lead to injuries.
• Apply the power tool to the workpiece only when switched on . Otherwise there is
danger of kickback when the wheel jams in the workpiece.
• Do not apply too much pressure on the power tool.
• Do not apply side pressure on the wheel.
• Avoid areas in front and behind the spinning wheel. When a cut-off wheel is moved
onto a workpiece away from the operator, it may cause the power tool to kick back as a
result of recoil, with a rotating cutoff wheel pointing directly towards the operator.
• The wheel guard must be properly fitted to the power tool. The wheel guard must
be positioned so that it protects the operator against chips, accidental contact with the
wheel and sparks which may set clothing on fire.
• If the guard is not operating properly, it must be repaired in an authorized service
point before any further use of the power tool.
• ALWAYS use the wheel intended for recommended application (for example: do not
grind with the wheel intended for cutting) and the material of the workpiece.
• Do not use damaged wheels. Prior to each use, inspect for any chips and cracks. If
any of these are found, replace the wheel with a new one.
• Before switching on the power tool, check if the wheel is correctly fitted, can spin
freely and does not catch the guard.
• Avoid touching the wheel just after use as it may be hot. Similarly, when removing
the accessory from the spindle, wear protective gloves to grasp it. Wheel may be hot
after prolonged use. Avoid contact with skin. Burn hazard.
