DISC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Disc speed.
Check the speed of the disc before fitting to your angle
grinder. Never use a disc with a rpm speed less than the rpm speed of your
angle grinder. See specification on page 16.
2. The outside diameter and thickness of your accessories must be within the
capacity rating of the power tool. The correct size accessories can be
correctly guarded and controlled.
3.
Inspect the disc before fitting.
Never use a disc that is chipped, cracked or
damaged. Fragments from a broken or damaged disc can cause serious
injury. Make sure that defective discs are destroyed and not used.
4.
Handling and mounting discs.
Bonded abrasive products are breakable
and shall therefore be handled with utmost care. The use of damaged or
improperly mounted or used abrasive products is dangerous and can
cause serious injuries.
5.
Disc usage.

safety information. Do not use for purposes other than specified. Discs for
wet cutting applications must not be used with this angle grinder.

Always use the correct disc for it’s intended task. Using
the incorrect disc can cause serious injury.
7.
Using the disc.
Allow the disc and tool to do the work. Never force the disc
onto the workpiece as this could cause kickback and/or shatter the disc
causing serious injury. Kickback can occur in the event of a disc jam.

Do not use cutting discs for side grinding. Do not put
sideways pressure on cutting discs.
9.
Do not use reducing bushes.
Do not use separate reducing bushes or
adapters to adapt large hole abrasive wheels. Do not force a disc onto a
machine or alter the size of the arbor hole.
10. Never use a damaged disc. Inspect each disc before each use for chips,
cracks, excess wear. If the tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install a new accessory. After fitting the accessory, position
yourself away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the tool at
full speed. damages discs are likely to break apart during this test.
