6 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANGLE GRINDERS
▪ 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 discs which are
cracked, ripped or otherwise damaged.
▪ Before use, let the machine run idle for 30 seconds.
▪ Immediately switch off the machine in case of abnormal vibrations or occurrence of
another defect. Carefully inspect the machine and grinding disc before switching the
machine on again.
▪ Make sure that sparks do not put people into danger or that they contact highly flammable
substances.
▪ Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently supported or clamped. Keep your hands away
from the surface to be cut.
▪ Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. If desired or required also use another
kind of protection like, for example, an apron or helmet.
▪ Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
▪ Ensure that blotters are used when they are provided with the bonded abrasive product
and when they are required.
▪ If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.
▪ For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the
wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.
▪ Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when working in dusty conditions.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
7.1 Batteries
▪ Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪ Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪ Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
▪ Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5 °C-20 °C). Never store batteries in discharged
state.
▪ It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a
year). The ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
▪ When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
▪ Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
