SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Caution: Hold tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the 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.
Wear ear protectors when using the tool for
extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise can cause hearing loss.
Always wear eye goggles and hearing protection.
Use other available protective equipment such
as protective gloves, suitable protective work
clothing and helmet.
can lead to the transfer of electrical energy onto
the machine housing. This can mean a
temporary danger of electric shocks. This is why
it is necessary when the machine is running to
blow compressed air through the rear ventilation
slots of the machine regularly, frequently and
thoroughly. Here, the machine must be held
firmly.
It is recommended to use a stationary extraction
system and to place a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) downstream.
If the angle grinder is deactivated by the GFCI
circuit interrupter, the angle grinder must be
checked and cleaned. Cleaning the motor, see
Maintenance.
Ensure that sparks produced during work do not
constitute a risk to the user or other personnel
and are not able to ignite inflammable
substances. Endangered areas must be
protected with flame-resistant covers. Make sure
that fire-risk areas are always provided with
suitable fire extinguishers.
If operating the power tool in damp locations is
unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
must be used to supply the power to your tool.
Electrician´s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
When using grinding wheel attachments, the
guard must always be attached to the tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed from the side the
tool is being operated.
Grinding wheels or any other accessory must
have a maximum safe operation speed greater
than the "no load RPM" marked on the tool´s
nameplate.
Always use auxiliary handle for maximum
control over torque reaction or kick-back.
Operation of the grinder without the side handle
could cause loss of control of the grinder,

Before using a grinder or installing a new
wheel, inspect the grinding wheel for
chips and cracks. Remove bad wheels
immediately. Run the tool at no load for
one minute, holding the tool in the
direction away from people. Wheels with
flaws will normaly break apart during this
time.
Carefully handle both the tool and
individual grinding wheels to avoid
chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel
if tool is dropped while grinding. Do not
use a wheel that may be damaged.
Fragments from a wheel that bursts during
operation will fly away at great velocity
possibly striking you or bystanders.
Warning! Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints,
– Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
– Arsenic and cromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
A damaged or cracked side handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a
defective side handle.
