ANGLE GRINDER, SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety guidelines for grinding, sanding with sandpaper, working with wire brushes and cutting
using the grinding wheel.
• This power tool can be used as a regular grinder, sander for sanding with sandpaper, grinder for
grinding with wire brushes and for cutting with a cut-off wheel. Observe all safety guidelines,
instructions, descriptions and data provided with the power tool. Failure to observe the following
recommendations may cause danger of electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
• This power tool cannot be used for polishing. When the power tool is used for other works than it is
designed for, it may contribute to hazards and injuries.
• Do not use equipment, which is not designed and recommended by the manufacturer specifically
for this device. The fact that it can be fastened to the power tool, does not guarantee safe operation.
• The permissible rotational speed of a working tool used cannot be lower than the maximum
rotational speed given on the power tool. A working tool rotating faster than the permissible speed may
break and its parts may chip off.
• The outside diameter and thickness of a working tool must correspond to dimensions of the power
tool. A working tool of incorrect dimensions may not provide sufficient control and covering of the power
tool.
• Working tools with threaded inserts must perfectly fit the thread in the spindle. In case of working
tools that are fastened using a flange, the hole diameter of a working tool must fit the flange
diameter. Working tools, which cannot be precisely seated in the power tool, rotate unevenly, vibrate heavily
and may result in loss of control over the power tool.
• Under no circumstances, should damaged working tools be used. Before the power tool is used,
accessories such as cut-off wheels should be checked for chips and cracks, grinding wheels should
be checked for cracks, abrasion or heavy wear, while wire brushes for loose or broken wires. When
the power tool or a working tool is dropped, it must be checked for damage or another, undamaged
tool should be used. If a working tool is checked and fastened, the power tool should be switched
on for a minute at the highest speed, paying attention so that the operator and bystanders are
beyond the zone of the rotating tool. Damaged working tools often break in this test period.
• Always wear personal protective equipment. Depending on a type of work, a full face mask, eye
protection or safety glasses should be worn. A dust mask, ear protection, protective gloves or a
special apron protecting against small particles of abrasive material and workpiece should be
worn, if needed. Protect your eyes against airborne foreign bodies occurring during operation. A dust mask
and protective mask for the respiratory system must filter dust occurring during work. The influence of noise for
a longer period of time may lead to deterioration of the hearing.
• Always make sure bystanders are in a safe distance from the power tool reach zone. All people
staying in the vicinity of the operating power tool must use personal protective equipment. Chips of
a workpiece or broken working tools may chip off and cause injuries also beyond the direct reach zone.
• When works are performed, during which the power tool may encounter hidden electric conductors
or own power cord, the power tool should be held by the isolated surfaces of the handle. A contact
with the power mains network may transfer voltage onto metal parts of the power tool, which may result in
electric shock.
• The power cord must be kept away from the rotating working tools. When the control over the tool is
lost, the power cord may be cut or caught, and your hand or the entire arm may get into the rotating working
tool.
• Do not put the power tool aside, before the working tool comes to complete stop. The rotating
