General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Warning

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations

and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result

in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference.

The term power tool in the warnings refers to your mains-

operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)

power tool.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Work area

safety

•Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter or dark areas

invite accidents.

•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmosphere,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or

dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Electrical

safety

•Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

•Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,

pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away

from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

•When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

•If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Personal

safety

•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a

power tool while you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal

injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions

will reduce personal injuries.

•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off-position before connecting to power source

and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

energising power tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

•Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a

rotating part of the power tool may result in personal

injury.

•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situation.

•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

•If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4 EN

angle grinder PAGS 10-230

•Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools

allow you to become complacent and ignore tool

safety principles. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of a second.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Power tool

use and care

•Do 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 designed.

•Do 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.

•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or

remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.

•Store 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.

•Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

misalignment or binding 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.

•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control.

•Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

•Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and

free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping

surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Service

•Have 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 Common for Grinding, Sanding,

Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations

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

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

warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire

and/ or serious injury.

•Operations 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 hazard and

cause personal injury.

•Do not use accessories which are not specifically

designed 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. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can

break and fly apart.

•The outside diameter and the thickness of your

accessory 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

control.

•Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use

inspect 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 install an undamaged accessory. After

inspecting and installing 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 minute. Damaged accessories will

normally break apart during this test time.

EN 5

angle grinder PAGS 10-230

•Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on

application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety

glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing

protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of

stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The

eye protection 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

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

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

the operator 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 accessory.

•Never 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

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

accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical

hazards.

•Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

•Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in

electrocution or shock.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating

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 accessory’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 pinching. Abrasive wheels may also

break under these conditions.

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.

•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.

•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.

•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.

•Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or

toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback

and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive

Cutting-Off Operations

•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.

•The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must

be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An

improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane

of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.

•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.

•Wheels must be used only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with the side of

cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for

peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels

may cause them to shatter.

6 EN

angle grinder PAGS 10-230

•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. Flanges for cut-off wheels

may be different from grinding wheel flanges.

•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.

Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive

Cutting-Off Operations

•Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive

pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth

of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and

susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut

and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

•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.

•When 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.

•Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.

Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter

the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the

power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

•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.

•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.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing

Operations

•Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush

even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the

wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire

bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

•If the use of a guard is recommended for wire

brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire

wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may

expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal

forces.

Device-specific safety warnings for angle grinders

•Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are

hidden in the work area or call the local utility

company for assistance. Contact with electrical lines

may result in fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line

may lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water line causes

property damage and may cause an electric shock.

•If the power supply is interrupted, e.g. due to a power

failure or because the mains plug has been pulled out,

unlock the on/off switch and set it to the off position.

This is done to prevent uncontrolled restart.

•Do not touch the abrasive wheels and cutting discs

until they have cooled down. The wheels and discs

become very hot during operation.

•Secure the workpiece. The grip of tensioning devices or a

vice is more secure than holding the workpiece only by

hand.

Intended use
