Safety information for the angle grinder

Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire

Brushing or Abrasive Cutting Off operations

u This 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.

u 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 haz-

ard and cause personal injury.

u 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.

u 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.

u The 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.

u 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.

u 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

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.

u 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 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.

u 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.

u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces

only, when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting access-

ory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal

parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator

an electric shock.

u 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 con-

trol.

u 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.

u 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.

u Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-

als. Sparks could ignite these materials.

u Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-

cution or shock.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotat-

ing wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinch-

ing or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating access-

ory 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 direc-

tion of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abras-

ive 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.

u 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 reac-

tions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

u Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.

Accessory may kickback over your hand.

u 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.

u Use special care when working corners, sharp edges

etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
