the accessory must t the locating diameter of the ange. 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.
8 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.
9 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 ying debris generated by various operations . The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
1.2.4. SERVICE
9 Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
9 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.
1.2.5. SPECIFIC GRINDER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.2.5.1. A ) Kickback
9 Maintain a rm 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.
9 Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
8 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.
9 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.
8 DO NOT attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
1.2.5.2. B)GrindingandAbrasiveCutting-OOperations
9 Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specic guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels
for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
9 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.

SG125EU.V2 Issue 4 06/02/24
9 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 the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks
that could ignite clothing.
9 Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: DO NOT grind with the side of cut-o wheel. Abrasive cut-o
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
9 Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel anges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-o wheels may be dierent from grinding wheel anges.
8 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.
C)AbrasiveCutting-OOperations
8 DO NOT “jam” the cut-o wheel or apply excessive pressure. DO NOT attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Over stressing 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.
8 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.
9 When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch o the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until
the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-o 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.
8 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.
9 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.
9 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.
DANGER OF FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
WARNING! The grinding process can produce streams of sparks which are a potential source of ignition especially when grinding metal.
8 DO NOT use the grinder where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases.
8 DO NOT allow grinder sparks to make contact with the operator’s clothing or any other fabric such as cleaning rags.
9 Fabrics contaminated with inflammable materials such as petrol, oil, grease, paint and solvents are a particular fire hazard.
9 To reduce the risk of clothing catching fire the operator should wear wool or cotton outer garments treated with a fire retardant in
preference to man-made fibres.
LEAD PAINT WARNING!
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. Contact with the dust from the removal of such paint is toxic and must therefore be
avoided. The following action must be taken before using the grinder on a surface that you suspect may contain lead paint.
1. User must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (modern paints do not have lead content).
2. DANGER! Keep all people and pets away from the working area. The following are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint
dust: Pregnant women, babies and children.
3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint Spray Respirator (Our ref SSP1699)
b) PE Coated Hooded Coverall (Our ref SSP266). c) Latex Gloves (Our ref SSP24).
4. Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
5. Continue to wear safety equipment as in (3) above and thoroughly clean all areas when work is complete. Ensure that paint
waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers according to local regulations.
