10. Do not use a disc marked with a lower RPM than that of the no load speed shown on the
rating plate.
11. Use discs only of the prescribed diameter.
12. Do not use the angle grinder for buffing or polishing under any circumstances.
13. Never try to operate the angle grinder without the guard in place.
14. Do not secure the angle grinder in a vice or work bench and use it as a static grinder. It can
lead to serious injury.
15. Never apply excessive pressure to the disc. It might shatter causing personal injury.
16. Ensure the workpiece to be ground or cut, is held tight in the vice or other clamping system.
17. Always use both handles and ensure a good handgrip on the grinder before proceeding with
any work.
18. Make sure that the disc is not in contact with the work when you start the grinder.
19. Be careful not to damage the spindle or either of the disc flanges. Damage to these parts
could result in disc breakage.
20. Only use good quality grinding and cut off discs. Cheap poor quality discs tend to glaze up
which loads the motor and can damage it. Use discs for their designated purpose only. For
instance, do not use cutting discs for grinding or metal wheels on masonry.
21.Watch out for flying sparks. When grinding, hold the tool at an angle of approximately 15° to
30° to the workpiece surface.
22. Let the disc do the grinding or cutting at a reasonable feed, as overloading will occur if too
much pressure is applied and the disc slows resulting in inefficient cutting and possible damage
to the motor.
23. When using the grinder, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear
protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves.
Store the recommended accessories in a well-ventilated area. Never expose them to the rain or
humidity.
WARNING!
Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction jobs contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints.
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Your risk form these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area.
Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all time.
