2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANGLE GRINDERS
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations . The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from word area. Anyone
entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or a broken accessory may fly 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.
NOTE: The above warning may be omitted if the only recommended
operation.
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.
I) 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.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or
other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
NOTE: The above warning dose not apply for power tools specifically
designed for use with a liquid system.

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 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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces . Always use auxiliary
andle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if
kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to
wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
3) ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING
AND CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and
the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which
the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are
unsafe.
b) 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 operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
c) 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 .
d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and
shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
