Angle grinder operation
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your
body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
c) When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from
the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel
binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach
full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut
and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical
wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Special safety instructions
• Check that the maximum speed indicated on the grinding disc corresponds
to the maximum speed of the machine. The speed of the machine must
not exceed the value on the grinding disc.
• Make sure that the dimensions of the grinding disc correspond to the
specifications of the machine.
• Make sure that the grinding disc has been mounted and fastened
properly. Do not use reducing rings or adapters to make the grinding disc
fit properly.
• Treat and store grinding discs in conformance with the supplier’s
instructions.
• Do not use the machine for grinding workpieces with a maximum
thickness exceeding the maximum grinding depth of the grinding disc.
• Do not use grinding discs for deburring.
• When grinding discs have to be mounted on the thread of the spindle,
make sure that the spindle has sufficient thread. Make sure that the
spindle is sufficiently protected and does not touch the grinding surface.
• Before use, inspect the grinding disc for any damage. Do not use grinding
