SAFETY RULES FOR THE ANGLE GRINDER
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of any vibration-related injury:
1. First be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand,
past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s disease should not use this tool. If you feel any
symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon
as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the effects of vibration.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
5. Take vibration-free breaks during each day of work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop using
the tool immediately.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE ANGLE GRINDER
REDUCING KICKBACK
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating grinding wheel or any other accessory. Pinching
or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be
jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinch-
ing. Take proper safety prevention methods to reduce the risk of kickback:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Always use the auxiliary handle for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The op-
erator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessories may kick back over your hand.
3. 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.
4. 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.
