SAFETY RULES FOR THE ANGLE GRINDER
WARNING:
Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety
rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
1. TOOL PURPOSE. This power tool is intended to function as a grinder and sander. Using the tool for opera-
tions for which the it was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
2. WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the tool in wet or damp conditions; doing so significantly increases
the risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases; sparks gener-
ated by the grinder could ignite these flammable materials.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved glasses with side shields., hearing protection and a
dust mask when using the angle grinder. Tie back long hair. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they might
get drawn in by the tool.
4. TOOL & ACCESSORY INSPECTION. Before operation, check the tool and accessories for any damage or
missing parts. Do not use the tool if any part is missing or damaged. Make sure all adjustments are correct and all
connections are tight. Keep all guards in place.
5. PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK. Hold your power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, especially
when performing an operation where the accessory could contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator. Always be aware of power
cord location to avoid accidentally contacting the power cord.
6. USE THE RIGHT GRINDING WHEEL FOR YOUR TOOL AND THE WORKPIECE.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be equal to or higher than the operation speed (11,000 RPM) of the
angle grinder. Accessories running faster than the rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
• Use grinding wheels with 4-1/2 inch outer diameter and 7/8 inch arbor. The grinding wheel thickness should
not exceed 1/4 inch. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
7. SECURING THE WORKPIECE. Secure any loose workpieces using vises or clamps to prevent wobble, dam-
age to the workpiece, and personal injury.
8. STARTING THE TOOL. Hold the tool with both hands in front and away from you. Do not run the tool
while carrying it at your side. Start the angle grinder before applying it to the workpiece. Let the wheel come to full
speed before contacting the workpiece.
9. DURING OPERATION. To prevent personal injury, maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands. Keep
hands, hair and other beloved body parts away from the rotating components of the tool.
10. TURNING OFF THE TOOL. Lift the tool from the workpiece before turning the machine off. Do not lay
the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Do not touch the pad or the workpiece immediately after
operation. They may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
11. MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. Always turn OFF and unplug the grinder before cleaning, making adjustments
or changing attachments. Accidental start-ups may occur if the tool is plugged in during an accessory change or
adjustment.
