ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS
SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRINDING OR
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS:
■
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.
■
Operations such as
polishing or hole-cutting are not to be performed
with this power tool. Operations for which the power
tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
■
Do not convert this power tool to operate in a way
which is not specifically designed and specified by
the tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result
in a loss of control and cause serious personal injury.
■
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and specified by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
■
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.
■
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.
■
The dimensions of the accessory mounting must
fit the dimensions of the mounting hardware of the
power tool. 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.
sanding, wire brushing,
■
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 wires.
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 no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this test
time.
■
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various applications. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by the particular application. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
■
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
■
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
■
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory
may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
■
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
■
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.
■
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
■
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or 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 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 climb out or kick out. The wheel may either
jump toward or away from the operator, depending on the
direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
