For Your Safety
Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
Working safely with this machine
is possible only when the operat-
ing and safety information are
read completely and the instruc-
tions contained therein are strictly
followed.
Safety Warnings for Angle Grinder
Safety warnings common for grind-
ing, cut-off grinding, and sanding
with sanding discs

This power tool is to be used as a grinder,
sander and cut-off grinder. Read all
safety warnings, instructions, illustra-
tions and specifications provided with
this power tool. Non-observance of the follow-
ing instructions can lead to electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.

This power tool is not suitable for work-
ing with wire brushes and polishing. Appli-
cations, for which the power tool is not intended for,
can lead to hazardous situations and injury.

Do not use accessories which are not spe-
cifically designed and recommended by
the tool manufacturer. Just because the acces-
sory can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.

The rated speed of the accessory must be
at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories run-
ning faster than their rated speed can break and fly
apart.

The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capac-
ity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly
sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded
or controlled.

The arbor size of wheels, flanges, back-
ing pads or any other accessory must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Accessories with arbor holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If power tool or accessory is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting
and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load
speed for one minute. Damaged accessories
will normally break apart during this test time.

Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris gener-
ated by various operations. The dust mask or respi-
rator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.

Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
