Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do
not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding
of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating
wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away
from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning
wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless
until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in
motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the
wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the
risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to
sag under their own weight. Support must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls
or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents
a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disk or
kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its
attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can
entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during
ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not
allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
Additional safety Warnings:
a) In tools adapted to attach grinding wheels with a threaded hole,
check whether the thread length of the grinding wheel is suitable for
the length of the spindle thread.
b) Secure the workpiece. Attaching the workpiece to the clamping
device or vise is safer than holding it in your hand.
c) Do not touch the cutting and grinding discs until they have cooled
down.
d) When using a quick-setting flange, make sure that the internal
flange mounted on the spindle is equipped with a rubber O-ring
and that the ring is undamaged. It should also be ensured that
the surfaces of the external flange and the internal flange are
clean.
e) Use the quick clamping flange only with abrasive and cutting
discs. Only use undamaged and properly functioning flanges.
f ) In the event of a temporary power outage in the network or after
removing the plug from the power socket with the switch in the
„on" position, before re-starting, unlock the switch and set it in the
off position.
CAUTION! This device is designed to operate indoors. The design
is assumed to be safe, protection measures and additional safety
systems are used, nevertheless there is always a small risk of
injuries at work.

DESIGN AND APPLICATION
The angle grinder is a hand-held power tool with the II class isolation.
The power tool is driven with a single-phase, commutator motor,
whose rotational speed is reduced by means of an intersecting axis
gear. The power tool can used both for grinding and cutting. This type
of power tools is widely used for removal of burrs from metal surfaces,
weld surface processing, cutting light-wall tubes and other small metal
objects etc. They are used in engineering industry, automotive and
chemical industry. With the use of proper tools, the angle grinder can
be used not only for cutting or grinding, but also for rust and paint coats
removal.
The areas of its application include repair and construction works, not
only related to metals. The angle grinder can also be used for cutting
and grinding of construction materials, such as brick, paving stones,
ceramic tiles, etc.
The power tool is designed for dry operation only and it must not
be used for polishing. The power tool should be used according to
its purpose.
Use inconsistent with its purpose
• Do not work materials that contain asbestos. Asbestos is
carcinogenic.
• Do not work materials, whose dust is inflammable or explosive.
During operation, the power tool produces sparks, which may ignite
emitted vapours.
• Do not use cut-off wheels for grinding. The cut-off wheels are used to
cut with its face, while grinding with lateral surface of such a cut-off wheel
threatens with its damages and puts the operate in danger of injuries.
