Angle Grinder Safety Warnings
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing, and Abrasive Cutting-O
Operations:
Use
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-o tool. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all the instructions may result in
electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as polishing are not
recommended to be performed with this power
tool. Operations for which the power tool was not desig-
ned may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
d) 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 y apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accesso-
ries cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by anges, the arbour hole of the
accessory must t the locating diameter of the
ange. 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.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use, inspect accessories such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If a power tool or
accessory is dropped, check it 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.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use a 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 protec-
tion must be capable of stopping ying debris generated
by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of ltering particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
i) 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 accessory may y away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting
a „live“ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool „live“ and shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, 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 grip the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
