3. remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool or machine before connecting it. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
increases the risk of personal injury.
4. avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the throttle switch is in neutral or OFF position when not in use
and before connecting it to any power/air source. Do not carry the tool with fingers near or on the switch.
5. Only use the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer. Other lubricants
may not be suitable and may damage the tool or even make the tool explode.
6. when not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid
rust.
servIce
1. check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears to be damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform it's intended functions. Check
for alignment and binding of moving parts; broken parts or mounting fixtures, or any other condition
that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a
qualified technician.
2. when servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Only use accessories intended for use with this
tool.

electrIcal safety

1. Disconnect power supply. Disconnect from power supply when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or
changing a piece or accessory.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Prevent body
contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other),
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double Insulation eliminates the need for a three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. If the tool should electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
5. Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
6. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or
damaged. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Do
not modify the plug in any way.
7. when operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "w-a" or "w". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
8. avoid using an unecessarily long extension cord. Choose a cord that is appropriate for the situation,
as a cord that is too long and running across the floor can be more dangerous than helpful.

stop.
4. Do not start the tool when the grinding or cutting wheels are touching the work area.
5. always ensure the safety guard is attached correctly and do not operate the angle grinder without
the guard attached.
6. Only use grinding and cutting wheels that are approved for a maximum speed of 13,000 rPm or
greater.
7. Only use grinding or cutting wheels with the correct bore size for the spindle of the grinder.
