Safety Notes

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all instruc­tions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains­operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (c ordless)
power tool.

Work area safety

 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas

invite accidents.

 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may igni te the dust

or fumes.

 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety
 Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

 Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.

 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.

 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,

pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-

sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitab le

for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-

able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while op-

erating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

 Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal inju­ries.

 Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in

the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or en­ergising power tools that hav e the switch on invites acci­dents.

 Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a ro-

tating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-

lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

 If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-

traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con­nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-

duce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care
 Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the

battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-

cordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service
 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair per-

son using only identical replacement parts. This will en-

sure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Warnings for Angle Grinder

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 specifications pro­vided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-

tions listed below may result in electric shock, fire 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 specifically de-

signed 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. Ac-

cessories running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.

 The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-

sory 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
flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. 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 in-

spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for ch ips
and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If p ower
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 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.

 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 fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.

 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces on-

ly, when performing an operation where the cutting ac­cessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cut-

ting 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 wheel 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 flammable materi-

als. 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 ro-

tating 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 b y
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into
the pinch point can dig into th e 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
start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or

kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

 Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Ac-

cessory 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 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. Cor-

ners, 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 specific guard designed for the se­lected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not de-

signed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsaf e.

 The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels

must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An

improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane
of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.

 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, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that
could ignite clothing.

 Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-

tions. For example: do not grind with the side of the
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 flanges that are of cor-

rect 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.

 Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from larger

power tools. Wheels intended for larger power tools are

not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.

Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive cutting
off operations

 Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-

sure. 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.

 Do not position your body in line with and behind the ro-

tating 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.

 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 elimi-

nate the cause of wheel binding.

 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.

 Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize

the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large work-

pieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must
be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near
the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
