ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS

SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRINDING, SANDING,
WIRE BRUSHING, OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS:
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Operations such as polishing are not recommended 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 use accessories which are not specifi cally designed
and recommended 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 fl y 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.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder
spindle thread. For accessories mounted by fl anges, the
arbour hole of the accessory must fi t the locating diameter of
the fl 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.
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 fl ying debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of fi ltrating particles generated
by your operation. 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
equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may
fl y 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 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.
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 wheel.
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 fl ammable 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 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
climb out or 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.
■
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use
auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback
or torque reaction during startup. The operator can control
torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
■
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
may kickback over your hand.
■
Do not position your body in the area where 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.
■
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.
■
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power
tool and the specifi c guard designed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel
is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect
the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with
wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For
example, do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive
cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel fl anges that are of correct size
and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel fl anges support
the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut-off wheels may be diff erent from grinding wheel fl anges.
