Power tool use and care

uDo not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-

signed.

uDo not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

uDisconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk

of starting the power tool accidentally.

uStore idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or

these instructions to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

uMaintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.

If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power

tools.

uKeep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

uUse the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-

count the working conditions and the work to be per-

formed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

uHave your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Angle Grinder

Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire

Brushing or Abrasive Cutting Off operations

uThis power tool is intended to function as a grinder,

sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read all safety

warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifica-

tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury.

uOperations such as polishing are not recommended to

be performed with this power tool. Operations for

which the power tool was not designed may create a haz-

ard and cause personal injury.

uDo 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.

uThe rated speed of the accessory must be at least

equal to the maximum speed marked on the power

tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed

can break and fly apart.

uThe outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-

cessory must be within the capacity rating of your

power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-

equately guarded or controlled.

uThreaded 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

control.

uDo 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

installing an accessory, position yourself and bystand-

ers away from the plane of the rotating accessory and

run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one

minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart

during this test time.

uWear personal protective equipment. Depending on

application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety

glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-

tectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-

ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye

protection must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-

erated by various operations . The dust mask or respir-

ator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by

your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity

noise may cause hearing loss.

uKeep 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.

uHold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make ex-

posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give

the operator an electric shock.

uPosition 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 accessory.

uNever lay the power tool down until the accessory has

come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may

grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your con-

trol.

uDo 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.
