the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
r
or binding 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 main-
r
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
r
etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
r
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

Safety information for the angle grinder

Safety Warnings common for Grinding, Sanding,
Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting Off operations
This power tool is intended to function as a
r
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 instructions listed below may res-
ult in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Operations such as polishing are not recommen-
r
ded to be performed with this power tool. Oper-
ations for which the power tool was not designed may cre-
ate a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
r
designed and recommended by the tool manu-
facturer. 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
r
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
r
accessory 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
r
the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the ac-
cessory must fit the locating diameter of the
18
flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting hard-
ware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate ex-
cessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
r
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or access-
ory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting and in-
stalling 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 accessor-
ies will normally break apart during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
r
ing 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 ab-
rasive 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 hear-
ing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
r
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment. Frag-
ments 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 sur-
r
faces 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 could give the operator an electric shock.
Position the cord clear of the spinning access-
r
ory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning ac-
cessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the access-
r
ory has come to a complete stop. The spinning ac-
cessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out
of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
r
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
r
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and ex-
cessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause elec-
trical hazards.
