Angle Grinder Safety Warnings
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding or
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) 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. Fai-
lure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as wire brushing and poli-
shing are not recommended to be performed
with this power tool. Operations for which the pow-
er tool was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not speci-
fically designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Treaded 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.
g) 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 wi-
res. 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 noload speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during
this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear
dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop
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.
i) 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.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces 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.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accesso-
ry. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
wheel.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning acces-
sory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory
into your body.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
