SERVICE
Tool servicing must be performed by qualified
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by non-
qualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow the instructions in the Maintenance
section of this Manual. The use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow the instructions in the Maintenance
section of this Manual may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING
1. Know your cordless angle grinder. DO NOT plug in
the charger or install a battery in the tool until you
have read and understood this Instruction Manual.
Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
2. Always wear eye protection. Any power tool
can throw foreign objects into your eyes and cause
permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety
goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety
standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
3. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI
Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they break.
4. Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot
sparks.
5. Always wear hearing protection and a dust mask.
Use only in well ventilated areas. Use of personal
protective equipment and working in a safe
environment will reduce the risk of injury.
6. Always keep hands out of the path of the grinding
disc. Avoid awkward hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause your hand to move into
the rotating disc.
7. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
remove the battery from the angle grinder before
installing or removing grinding discs.
8. The grinding disc and guard must be securely
attached as described in this Owner’s Manual
before installing a battery in the tool. Failure to
do so will increase the risk of serious injury if the
grinding disc shatters.
9. Make sure the guard is in good condition and
securely installed before operating grinder.
10. Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to hold
the work when practical. It’s safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
11. DO NOT clamp grinder in vise or use as a fixed
grinder.
12. Grinding discs must be stored in a dry location to
prevent deterioration.
13. Before attaching the grinding disc, inspect it for
visible defects. If it is cracked, chipped or warped do
not install it.
14. Use only grinding discs in compliance with ANSI
Standard B7.1 and rated for a speed greater than
11,000 RPM.
15. DO NOT remove the soft paper in the center of
the grinding disc.
NOTE: If this paper has been previously removed,
insert some soft rubber or paper between the grinding
disc and the disc flange to prevent damage to the
grinding disc.
16. DO NOT alter or enlarge the center hole of the
grinding disc as this could result in breaking it.
17. DO NOT over tighten the clamp nut on the grinding
disc. Excessive tightening may cause the disc to
crack and possibly shatter during operation.
18. DO NOT use the grinder if the disc flange or clamp
nut is missing or if the spindle is bent.
19. Check to make sure and any extension cords are
clear of the area to be cut. Contact with “live” wires
could shock the operator or cause a fire.
20. Always hold the grinder securely with two hands
while working and at all times when it is running.
21. Never turn the grinder ON with the grinding disc or
any rotating parts touching the work surface
22. Never cover the air vents in the motor housing with
your hands while operating the grinder.
