FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERA-
TIONS

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s
rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched
by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering
into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material
causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may
either jump toward or away from the operator, depending
on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of
pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.

Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up.

The operator can

control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.

Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.

Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs.

Kickback will

propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.

Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc.. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory.

Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have

a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback.

Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade.

Such blades create frequent

kickback and loss of control.

ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Check that the speed marked on the grinding wheel
is equal to or greater than the rated speed of the tool.

Ensure that the dimensions of the grinding wheel are
compatible with the tool and that the wheel fits the
spindle.

Grinding wheels must be stored in a dry place.

Do not store objects on top of the grinding wheels.

Grinding wheels must not be used for any operation
other than grinding.

Grinding wheels must be stored and handled with care
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.

Inspect the grinding wheel before use to ensure that it
is not chipped or cracked. Chips or cracks can cause
the wheels to shatter, resulting in possible serious
injury.

Ensure that the wheel is fitted in accordance with this
manual.

Ensure that the grinding wheel is correctly mounted
and tightened before use and run the tool at no-
load speed for 30 seconds in a safe position. Stop
immediately if there is considerable vibration or if other
defects are detected. If this condition occurs, check
the tool to determine the cause.

Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole grinding wheels.

Check that the work piece is properly supported.

Use only recommended accessories.

Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create
a hazard, e.g., do not hit people, or ignite flammable
substances.

Always use protective safety glasses and ear
protectors.

Use other personal protective equipment such as
gloves, apron and helmet when necessary.

Never place the tool on the floor or other surfaces
while it is running. Grinding wheels continue to rotate
after the tool is switched off. Never touch the wheel or
place it on the floor or other surfaces while it is rotating.

The flange and clamp nut must have same outer
diameter.

Use the tool only for approved applications. Never use
coolants or water or use the tool as a fixed tool.

Grip the tool securely with both hands while operating.
