ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety warnings common for grinding, or cutting-off
operations:
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, or cut-off
tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polishing or hole-
cutting are not 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 convert this power tool to operate in a way which is not
specically designed and specied by the tool manufacturer.
Such a conversion may result in a loss of control and cause serious
personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specically designed
and specied by the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
WARNING!
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in
accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different
applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may
signicantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is
running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the
accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.

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 y 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.
The dimensions of the accessory mounting must t the
dimensions of the mounting hardware of the power tool.
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.
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 applications. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of ltrating particles generated
by the particular application. 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
y 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 tool may contact
hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
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.

workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
When using a cut-off wheel guard for facial grinding, the wheel
guard may interfere with the workpiece causing poor control.
When using a grinding wheel guard for cutting-off operations with
bonded abrasive wheels, there is an increased risk of exposure
to emitted sparks and particles, as well as exposure to wheel
fragments in the event of wheel burst.
When using a cut-off, grinding, or combination wheel guard for
cutting-off and facial operations in concrete or masonry, there is an
increased risk of exposure to dust and loss of control resulting in
kickback.

Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
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 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
19
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 the 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 with both hands on the power tool and
position your body and arms 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, segmented
diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
Safety warnings specic for grinding and cutting-off operations
■ Use only wheel types that are specified 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 the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
■ Wheels must be used only for specified 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.
■ 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. A
wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
■ When using dual purpose wheels always use the correct
guard for the application being performed. Failure to use
the correct guard may not provide the desired level of guarding,
which could lead to serious injury.
Additional safety warnings specic for 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 the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold it 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.
■ Do not attempt to do curved cutting. 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, which can lead to serious injury.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise and the operator should pay special attention to
avoid the following:
■ Injury caused by dust and derbis
● While using the product, considerable dust and fine particles
will be produced. Use the dust collection device and connect
a dust extraction vacuum during use.
● Wear eye protection at all times.
● Wear respiratory protection masks containing filters
appropriate to the materials being worked. Ensure adequate
workplace ventilation.
● Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
■ Injury caused by noise and vibration

● Do not operate the product for long periods of time. See
“Risk reduction”.
■ Injury from contact with the cutting accessories
● The accessories are sharp and will become hot during use.
● Wear gloves when changing accessories.
● Keep hands away from the cutting area at all times.
● Never hold workpiece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Clamp the workpiece whenever possible.
■ Risk of electrocution if electric cables are cut
● Always hold the product by designated handles. Do not
touch the cutting blades or metal parts of the product.
■ Risk of musculoskeletal disorder
● Always work in correct posture, keep proper footing and
balance at all times..
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld products may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain
individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit
wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported
that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s
Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
20
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per
day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately
discontinue use and see your doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING! Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged
use of a product. When using any product for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
