ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before starting work, always consider that the use of hand held angle
grinders for grinding and cutting operations can present risks to the user.
Full observation of the safety instructions in this user guide is essential.
2.
Always use the correct tool for the job. Never force a small angle grinder
to do the job of a heavy tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended.
3. Always allow the angle grinder to run up to full operating speed before
applying it to the job.
4. Stop the angle grinder at regular intervals for a short break to rest hands
and arms.
5. Never bump the angle grinder disc on the workpiece, or let the disc hit
any other objects while grinding.
6. Suitable eye and face protection must be worn when using an angle
grinder. Always wear a dust mask.
7. Never carry the tool by the mains lead or pull it to disconnect it from the
mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
8. Use clamps or vices to hold the workpiece. Failure to secure the
workpiece could result in serious injury.
9. Keep all handles and grips dry and clean.
10.
Use outdoor extension leads.
If working outdoors, always use an approved
cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see
specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as
that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind
the cable completely. We strongly recommend that this machine is
connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
11.
Use of the mains cable.
Keep the mains cable well away from the disc
and ensure an adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the
operation is not restricted by the length of the cable.
12. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced, by an authorised service centre, unless otherwise indicated in
this user guide. Have defective switches replaced by an authorised
service facility.
13. Ensure all wheels and discs are fitted in accordance with the instructions.
14. When switching off, the disc will continue to rotate for a few seconds after
the angle grinder is switched off. Always wait until the disc has completely
stopped before putting the angle grinder down.
15. Always hold the angle grinder with both hands. Ensure that the workpiece
is kept at waist height where possible. Never use the angle grinder
between the legs whilst sitting on the floor.
