ELECTRICAL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.
WARNING: Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities. These
chemicals include:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according to how
often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these
chemicals, work in a we
ll-ventilated area, and use approved safety
equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
!
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection.
This tool charger is wired at the factory for 120 V AC operation. It must be
connected to a 120 V AC, 15 A circuit that is protected by a time-delayed
fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord
immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.

WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, 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.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adap
ter 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 a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces the risk of
electric shock.
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 dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or he
aring 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 energizing 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
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep
your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
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.
Use only safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection must be
ANSI-approved and breathing protection must
be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in
the work area.
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.
POWER TOOL SAFETY
!
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 113°F (45°C) may cause
explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
6
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 unexpect-
ed situations.
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 the battery pack 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. 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 situat
ion.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the blade may contact its
own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to
another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a
fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.

listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury and/or damage to the work
piece.
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 and/or damage to the work
piece.
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 arbor
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.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
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 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.
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.
Do not use Type 11 (flaring cup) wheels on
this tool. Using inappropriate accessories can
result in injury.
Always use side handle. Tighten the handle
securely. The side handle should always be
used to maintain control of the tool at all times.
When starting the tool with a new or
replacement wheel, or a new or replacement
wire brush installed, hold the tool in a well
protected area and let it run for one minute. If
the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it
should burst in less than one minute. If the
wire brush has loose wires, they will be
detected. Never start the tool with a person in
line with the wheel. This includes the operator.
Use of accessories not specified in this
manual is not recommended and may be
hazardous. Use of power boosters that would
cause the tool to be driven at speeds greater
than its rated speed constitutes misuse.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough
treatment. If this occurs, stop the tool and
inspect the wheel for cracks or flaws.
Always handle and store wheels in a careful
manner.
Do not operate this tool for long periods of
time. Vibration caused by the operating
action of this tool may cause permanent
injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves
to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest
periods, and limit daily time of use.
Air vents often cover moving parts and
should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
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

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
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 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 reaction 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
Before using this angle grinder, ensure that all
accessories (such as cutting discs, sanding pads,
or grinding wheels) are rated for operation at the
maximum speed of 11,000 RPM. Using accesso-
ries that are not designed for such high-speed
operation may lead to accessory failure,
excessive wear, or dangerous breakage, posing
a significant risk of injury to the operator and
bystanders.
Important:
Always check the speed rating printed on the
accessory before use.
Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommended
speed for any accessory.
Only use accessories designed specifically for
high-speed grinders.
Always use the proper guard that is compatible
with the accessory in use to ensure maximum
protection during operation.
Follow the accessory manufacturer's safety
instructions, operating guidelines, and warnings
to ensure safe use.
Ensure that the accessory is properly secured
and fitted to the tool before operation.
Failure to follow these safety precautions may
result in serious injury or damage to the tool.
Never use a cut-off wheel for grinding or a
grinding disc for cutting.
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 center 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 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.
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.
Dress appropriately. Wear leather leggings
and fire resistant footwear during use. Do
not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with pockets, or
any clothing that can catch and hold molten
metal or sparks.
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.
10
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
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 reenter 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 Sanding
Operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommen-
dations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or 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 and centrifugal forces.
Safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields and a full face shield compliant with
ANSI Z87.1 MUST be worn by the operator
and others that are within 50' (15.2 m) of the
use of this product.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs until
they have cooled down. The discs can become
very hot while working.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Loose clothing or hair can become entangled in
the rotating disc, leading to serious injury.
Flying debris, sparks, and potential contact with
the rotating disc can cause eye and skin
injuries. Appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE), such as eye protection,
gloves, and respiratory protection, is crucial.
Angle grinders can generate a lot of dust,
especially during sanding operations. This dust
can be harmful to the respiratory system,
potentially leading to silicosis or other
respiratory illnesses.

WARNING: For safety reasons, the
operator must read the sections of
this Owner’s Manual entitled "GENERAL
SAFETY WARNINGS", "POWER TOOL
SAFETY","SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES",
"EXTENSION CORD SAFETY"
(if applicable) and "SYMBOLS" before
using this angle grinder.
Verify the following every time the grinder
is used:
1. The grinding wheel/disc is securely
mounted and in good condition (not
cracked or worn).
2. All guards and safety covers are
properly installed and tightened.
3. The workpiece is securely clamped
or held in place.
4. Appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE) is being worn —
including safety glasses or a face
shield, hearing protection, and
gloves.
Failure to follow these safety checks can
significantly increase the risk of injury.
Always inspect your tool and setup before
use.
!
22
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
WARNING: Always use the correct guard
per the instructions in this manual.
!
WARNING: Use extra care when working
over an edge, as a sudden sharp movement
of grinder may be experienced.
!
WARNING: Never use your angle grinder
without eye protection. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
!
Always select and use accessories that are
appropriate for the job. Make sure that the
maximum operating speed of the grinding
accessory selected is not less than 11,000 RPM.
Secure all work before using the grinder.
Secure small workpieces in a vice or clamp to a
workbench.
To perform work on the surface of a workpiece:
1. For maximum control, hold the angle grinder in
front and away from you with both hands,
keeping the disc/wheel clear of the workpiece.
Start your angle grinder and let the motor and
disc/wheel build up to full speed.
2. Gradually lower the angle grinder until the
disc/wheel contacts the workpiece. Apply
minimum pressure to the work surface,
allowing the tool to operate at high speed.
3. For best results keep the tool tilted at an angle
of between 5° and 15° degrees and
continuously moving at a steady, consistent
pace (Fig.9). Move the tool back and forth or
up and down over the work area. Keep the
tool moving so that an excessive amount of
material is not removed from one area. If the
tool is held in one spot too long, it will gouge
and cut grooves in the workpiece. If the tool is
held at too sharp an angle, it will gouge the
workpiece because of the concentration of
pressure on a small area.
4. Maintain contact between the edge of the
wheel and the work surface.
- If grinding, sanding with flap discs or wire
brushing move the tool continuously in a
forward and back motion to avoid creating
gouges in the work surface.
- If sanding with a backing pad, move the tool
constantly in a straight line to prevent burning
and swirling of work surface.
NOTE: Use just enough pressure to keep the
angle grinder from chattering or bouncing. Heavy
pressure will decrease its speed and put a strain
on the motor. Normally, the weight of the tool
alone is adequate for most grinding jobs. Use
light pressure when grinding jagged edges or
loose bolts where there is potential for the angle
grinder to snag on the metal edge.
Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface
without moving will damage the work piece.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before
turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop rotating
before laying it down.
USING THE ANGLE GRINDER
Surface Grinding, Sanding and
Wire Brushing
Fig. 9
5°-15°
NOTE: This grinder is equipped with soft
start and overload protection.
1. The soft start function gradually increases the
motor speed when the tool is switched on.
Instead of instantly jumping to full RPM, the
motor ramps up power smoothly over a short
period (usually under 2 seconds). This
reduces the initial surge of torque, which
helps:
• Prevent sudden jerking or tool kickback.
• Extend the life of internal components.
2. Overload protection monitors the motor's
current. If the grinder is overloaded from
excessive pressure or tough materials, the
system detects the high current and either
reduces power or shuts the motor off
temporarily . This prevents overheating and
motor damage, ensuring safer operation and
longer tool life.
NOTE: Edge grinding/cutting with a Type 27
wheel must be limited to shallow cutting and
notching—less than 1/2" (13mm) in depth when
the wheel is new. Reduce the depth of
cutting/notching equal to the reduction of the
wheel radius as it wears down. Refer to
KNOW
GUARDS AND OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES for
more information. Edge grinding/cutting with a
Type 41 wheel requires usage of a cutting
guard.
1. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching the tool to the work surface.
2. Apply minimum pressure to the work surface,
allowing the tool to operate at high speed.
Grinding/cutting rate is greatest when the tool
operates at high speed.
3. Position yourself so that the open-underside
of the wheel is facing away from you.
4. Once a cut is begun and a notch is
established in the workpiece, do not change
the angle of the cut. Changing the angle will
cause the wheel to bend and may cause
wheel breakage. Edge grinding wheels are
not designed to withstand side pressures
caused by bending.
5. Remove the tool from the work surface
before turning the tool off. Allow the tool to
stop rotating before laying it down.
After the overload protection kicks in:
• Turn off the grinder.
• Allow the motor to cool down for a few minutes
to prevent overheating.
• Check the tool to ensure that the load has
been reduced or that the issue (e.g.., binding
or tough material) has been cleared.
• Turn the grinder back on.
NOTE: Once the motor is cooled and the
issue is resolved, the grinder should
function normally again.
23
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
WARNING: Do not use edge grinding/cut-
ting wheels for surface grinding applications
because these wheels are not designed for
side pressures encountered with surface
grinding. Wheel breakage and injury may
result.
!
WARNING: Wheels used for edge
grinding and cutting may break or kick back
if they bend or twist while the tool is being
used. In all edge grinding/cutting operations,
the open side of the guard must be
positioned away from the operator.
