SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
Q
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
Q
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Q
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.
Q
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.
Q
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
Additional safety instructions for grinding operations
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding Operations:
Q
Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
Q
The guard must be securely attached to the power
tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the
least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
Q
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications.
Q
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage.
Q
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst.
ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Q
Check that the speed marked on the grinding wheel is
equal to or greater than the rated speed of the tool.
Q
Ensure that the dimensions of the grinding wheel
are compatible with the tool and that the wheel fits
the spindle.
Q
Grinding wheels must be stored in a dry place.
Q
Grinding wheels must not be used for any operation
other than grinding.
Q
Grinding wheels must be stored and handled with care
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.
Q
Inspect the grinding wheel before use to ensure that it is
not chipped or cracked. Chips or cracks can cause the
wheels to shatter, resulting in possible serious injury.
Q
Ensure that the wheel is fitted in accordance with
this manual.
Q
Ensure that the grinding wheel is correctly mounted
and tightened before use and run the tool at
no-load speed for 30 seconds in a safe position.
Stop immediately if there is considerable vibration or
if other defects are detected. If this condition occurs,
check the tool to determine the cause.
Q
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to
adapt large hole grinding wheels.
Q
Check that the work piece is properly supported.
Q
Use only grinding wheels approved by authorized
service centre
Q
Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create
a hazard e.g. do not hit people, or ignite flammable
substances.
Q
Always use protective safety glasses and ear
protectors.
Q
Use other personal protective equipment such as
gloves, apron and helmet when necessary.
Q
Never place the tool on the floor or other surfaces
while it is running.
Q
Grinding wheels continue to rotate after the tool is
switched off.
Q
Never touch the wheel or place it on the floor or other
surfaces while it is rotating.
Q
The flange and clamp nut must have same outer
diameter.
Q
Do not remove the soft paper in the center of the
grinding wheel. (If the paper has been previously
removed, insert some soft paper or rubber between
grinding wheel and flange.)
Q
Use the tool only for approved applications. Never
use coolants or water or use the tool as a fixed tool.
Q
Grip the tool securely with both hands while operating.
