c. Do n

ot expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water

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

d. 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 or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. W

hen operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f. If

operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use

of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

a. St

ay 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR ANGLE GRINDER:

SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRINDING OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS:

a This power tool is intended to function as a grinder

or cutoff tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions,

illustrations and specications provided with this power

tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

b Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, 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.

c Do not use accessories which are not speci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.

Page 7

d 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 y apart.

e 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.

f Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder

spindle thread. For accessories mounted by anges, the arbour hole of the accessory must t the locating diameter of the 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.

i 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 y 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. Cutting accessory contacting a “live”

wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and

could give the operator an electric shock.

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.

g 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. 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.

h 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 ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ltrating particles generated by your operation.

Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing

loss.

l 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 ammable 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.

Page 8

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.

a Maintain a rm 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.

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 kick- back occurs. Kickback will propel the tool

in direction opposite to the 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.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS:

a Use only wheel types that are recommended for your

power tool and the specic guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed

cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b The grinding surface of 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.

c 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.

d 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.

e Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of correct

size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel

anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel anges.

f Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the

higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

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 bind- ing of the wheel in the cut and

the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

Page 9

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. 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.

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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY

Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of

the battery to each other with any metal object (such as wire).

Do not carry or store battery together with necklaces, hairpins

or other metal objects.

Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a

hammer, step on the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

Do not solder directly onto the battery.

Do not expose battery to water or salt water, or allow the

battery to get wet.

Do not disassemble or modify the battery.

Do not place the battery in or near re, on stoves or other high temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather.

Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure

containers or on induction cookware.

If you intend to store a battery for a period without use then store

battery at room temperature (19°C to 25°C), charged to about 30 – 50% of capacity. When storing for very long periods boost charge the battery once per year to prevent over discharge.

The following information applies to professional users only but is good practice for all users:

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR CONSTRUCTION DUST

The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1st October 2012 now also targets to reduce the risks associated with silica, wood and gypsumdusts. Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this because of the dust that they breathe: silica dust is not just a nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!

Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things like sand, sandstone and granite. It is also commonly found in many construction materials such as concrete and mortar. The silica is

broken into very ne dust (also known as Respirable Crystalline

Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as cutting, drilling

and grinding. Breathing in very ne particles of crystalline silica

can lead to the development of: Lung cancer Silicosis Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder/Chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease (COPD) And breathing in ne particles of wood dust can

lead to the development of Asthma. The risk of lung disease is linked to people who regularly breathe construction dust over a period of time, not on the odd occasion.

Page 10

To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on the

amount of these dusts that you can breathe (called a Workplace

Exposure Limit or WEL) when averaged over a normal working day. These limits are not a large amount of dust: when compared to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch of salt: This limit is the legal maximum; the most you can breathe after the right controls have been used.

WARNING! Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

HOW TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DUST?

1. Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of building products. Use a less powerful tool e.g. a block cutter instead of angle grinder.

2. Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using a nail

gun to direct fasten cable trays instead of drilling holes rst.

3. Please always work with approved safety equipment, such

as those dust masks that specially designed to lter out

microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all time.

For more information please see the HSE website: http://www.hse. gov.uk/construction or http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/cis69.pdf

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.

• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

• Work in a well-ventilated area.

• Work with approved safety equipment, such as

those dust masks that are specially designed to lter

microscopic particles

VIBRATION

The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been

brought in to help reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.

SEE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE VIBRATION LEVELS OF YOUR TOOL.

The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be used with the current guidance on vibration.

Calculating the actual period of use can be difcult and the HSE

website has further information.

Page 11

The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with EN60745-1,EN60745-2-3 and may be used to compare one tool with another tool. The declared vibration emission value may also be used in preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING! The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:

• How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.

Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10ºC or less. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

NOTE: The use of other tools will reduce the users’ total working period on this tool.

HEALTH SURVEILLANCE

All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression and help employees stay in work.

• The tool being in good condition and well maintained.

• Use the correct accessories for the tool and ensure they are sharp and in good condition.

• The tightness of the grip on the handles.

• The tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

WARNING! Identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in

the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts

of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations occur. Adopt the correct working practices in order to reduce the

exposure to vibration. This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades. Maintain this tool in accordance with

these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).

Cutting (I)

USE

INTENDED USE

The machine is intended for cutting and grinding metal and stone materials without using

water. For cutting, a special safety guard for cutting (accessory) must be used.

OPERATION

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain stationary due to its own weight.

• Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.

• Grinding and cutting wheels become very hot while working; do not touch until they have cooled.

STARTING OPERATION (G)

To start the power tool, press the rear of the on/off switch (3) and push forwards.

To lock the on/off switch, press the on/off switch down at the front until it engages.

To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch or, if it is locked, briey push down

the back of the on/off switch and then release it.

Hand grip areas

Always hold your angle grinder rmly with both hands when operating (H).

Grinding (H)

The best grinding results are achieved when setting the machine at an angle of 15° to 30°. Move the machine back and forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves are formed.

When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the machine. Work with moderate feed, adapted to the material being cut.

Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by applying sideward pressure. The direction in which the cutting is performed is important. The machine must always work in an up-grinding motion. Therefore, never move the machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed uncontrolled out of the cut.

WARNING!

cutting.

For cutting metal, always work with the wheel guard for

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR ANGLE GRINDER

If your power tool becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Never start your angle grinder with the disc/ accessory in contact with the workpiece. Always start at no load to achieve maximum speed then start working.

Do not force the disc to work faster, reducing the disc’s moving speed means longer working time.

When grinding, always work with a 30° to 40° angle between disc and workpiece. Larger

angles will cut ridges into the workpiece and affect the surface nish. Move the angle

grinder across and back and forth over the workpiece.

When using a cutting disc, never change the cutting angle otherwise you will stall the disc and angle grinder motor or break the disc.

When cutting, only cut in the opposite direction to the disc rotation. If you cut in the same direction as the disc rotation the disc may push itself out of the cut slot.

When cutting very hard material best results can be achieved with a diamond disc. When using a diamond disc it will become very hot. If this happens you will see a full ring of sparks around the rotating disc. Stop cutting and allow cooling at no load speed for 2-3 minutes.

Always ensure the workpiece is rmly held or clamped to prevent movement.

WARNING!

Never use a cutting wheel for grinding.
