d) Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and untrained users. Only people who have read and understand completely all safety instructions can use
the power tool. Power tools can be dangerous if used by inexperienced users.
e) Clean your power tool carefully. Check that the moving parts work properly and do not jam and that there are no parts broken or damaged to such an extent
that the operation of the power tool is affected. Contact an authorised service centre for any repairs needed before using the tool. Poorly maintained power
tools can cause serious damage or harm.
f) Keep any cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tools, accessories, attachments, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take into account the conditions of your workplace and the task
at hand. Using power tools for any purpose other than that for which they are intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Service
Have your power tool repaired only by trained personnel using only authentic spare parts. This will ensure that your power tool is always safe to use.
Angle grinder safety
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) This power tool cannot be used for polishing or as a sander. If the power tool is used for work for which it is not designed, danger and damage and/or injury
may occur.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because an accessory can be attached to your
power tool, that does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of an 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 outer diameter and thickness of your component must be within the specified dimensions of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
properly guarded or controlled.
f) The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes 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 damaged accessories. Before each use, inspect the accessory closely (disks for chips and cracks, backing pads for cracks, tears or excess wear,
wire brushes for loose or cracked wires). If the 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 rotating parts and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute to
inspect how the accessory fits and works.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on each application, use a face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. When needed, wear a dust mask,
hearing protection, gloves and a workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive fragments. Your safety goggles must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating any dust generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Flying shrapnel or debris
from the workpiece can cause injury beyond your immediate work area.
j) Hold the power tool only by the insulated handles when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may come in contact eith hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"and shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of any spinning accessories. If you lose control of the power tool, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab any 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 rotating accessory can become caught in your clothing, pulling the
accessory against 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 electric shock.
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 kick out. The wheel may either jump 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 power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use the additional handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback reaction during start-up. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory may recoil on your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control over the power tool.
