Safety Rules for Corded Angle Grinders
1. Safety warnings common for
grinding, sanding, wire brushing,
polishing or cutting-off opera-
tions
a. This power tool is intended to function as
a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher, or
cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, in-
structions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to fol-
low all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b. Operations such as hole cutting are not rec-
ommended to be performed with this power
tool. Operations for which the power tool
was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury .
c. 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 .
d. Do not use accessories which are not spe-
cifically designed and specified by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does
not assure safe operation .
e. The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. Accessories running fast-
er than their rated speed can break and fly
apart .
f. 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 .
g. 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 .
h. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, back-
ing 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 .
i. Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As ap-
propriate, wear dust mask, hearing protec-
tors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece frag-
ments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by vari-
ous applications . The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles gener-
ated by the particular application . Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss .
j. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken acces-
sory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation .
k. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an opera-
tion where the cutting accessory may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock .
l. Position the cord clear of the spinning ac-
cessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory .
m. Never lay the power tool down until the ac-
cessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control .
n. 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 .
o. Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of pow-
dered metal may cause electrical hazards .
p. Do not operate the power tool near flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials .
