SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.
Do not start the tool when the grinding or cutting wheel is touching the work piece.
2.
Do not operate the tool without the safety guard attached.
3.
Always ensure the safety guard is attached correctly.
4.
Only use grinding and cutting wheels that are approved for a speed of 11,000 RPM or greater.
5.
Only use grinding or cutting wheels with the correct arbor size for the spindle of the grinder.
6.
Never install more than one disc at a time.
7.
Keep the power cord well away from the cutting area during use. Always position the cord so
that it will not be caught in the work piece when the grinder is in use.
8.
Always use both hands when operating the tool.
9.
Before beginning work on your project, check if the cutting or grinding disc is in safe working
condition. You can find out if a disc is defective or cracked by letting it run at no load in a safe
environment with the guard between you and the disk. After a minute, if the disk has not broken
apart, it is considered in good working condition.
10. Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a live wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool live and shock the operator.
11. Before using the tool on an actual work piece, make a test run of the tool at the highest no-load
speed for at least 30 seconds in a safe position. Stop immediately if there is any vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced wheel. Check the tool to
determine the cause.
12. During long work periods do not allow the motor to overload and/or overheat, Take frequent
work breaks to prevent this.
13. Watch out for flying sparks. A large amount of sparks will be created when working with an
angle grinder. Hold the tool so that sparks fly away from you and other persons or flammable
materials. Keep up to date fire prevention safety instructions in the event of a fire.
14. When the machine is in operation, keep hands away from the cutting or grinding area.
15. Do not subject cutting discs to any lateral pressure.
16. Do not use the tool on any materials containing asbestos.
17. The disc will not stop immediately when the machine is turned off. Exercise caution.
18. Do not place the tool down after use until the grinding or cutting wheel has come to
a complete stop.
19. Do not touch the grinding surface or the surface that has been cut with this tool immediately
after use. The surface will be hot and you could injure yourself.
20. Use the standard parts. Do not use a coolant or water and do not use as a fixed grinder.
21. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the flange (Especially the installing surface) or the lock
nut. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.
22. Never use tool with wood cutting blades or other saw blades. Such blades when used on a
grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury.
