ANGLE GRINDER 1010W TTB602GRD
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral
grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility
of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger
power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to
make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel.
When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off
the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while
the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other
blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR ANGLE GRINDERS
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
1. Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.
2. When an extension cable is required, you must ensure it has the right ampere rating for your
power tool and is in a safe electrical condition.
3. Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your tool rating plate voltage.
4. Always switch off before you put the angle grinder down.
5. Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this tool.
6. Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.
7. If you are interrupted when operating the tool, complete the process and switch off before
looking up.
8. Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in such a way that they could fall into it.
9. When the disc is installed, run it for at least one minute to ensure that it does not have a fault. It
is always advisable to stay out of the line of the disc when testing or in general in use.
