Safety Warnings for Angle Grinder

Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding

and Cut-off Grinding

 This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,

sander or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, in-

structions, illustrations and specifications provided

with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions list-

ed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious

injury.

 This power tool is not suitable for working with wire

brushes or polishing. Operations for which the power tool

was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal

injury.

 Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-

signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.

Just because the accessory 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. Ac-

cessories running faster than their rated speed can break

and fly apart.

 The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-

sory must be within the capacity rating of your power

tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately

guarded or controlled.

 Threaded mounting of accessories must match the

grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by

flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the

locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not

match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out

of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of con-

trol.

 Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use in-

spect 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 in-

stall an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and in-

stalling 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 min-

ute. 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 pro-

tectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping

small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protec-

tion must be capable of stopping flying debris generated

by various operations. The dust mask or respirator 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

protective 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 gripping surfaces on-

ly, when performing an operation where the cutting ac-

cessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cut-

ting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the op-

erator an electric shock.

 Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you

lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand

or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.

 Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has

come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel may grab

the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

 Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.

Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag

your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

 Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s

fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive ac-

cumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical haz-

ards.

 Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-

als. Sparks could ignite these materials.

 Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Us-

ing water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocu-

tion or shock.

Kickback and related warnings

 Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged ro-

tating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.

Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating

accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power

tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accesso-

ry’s rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by

the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into

the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material

causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may

either jump toward or away from the operator, depending

on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinch-

ing. Abrasive wheels may also break under these condi-

tions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incor-

rect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoid-

ed by taking proper precautions as given below.

 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.

 Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.
