DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
SPECIFIC REGULATIONS REGARDING SAFE USE OF ANGLE GRINDER
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR GRINDING, PAPER SANDING, WORKING WITH
WIRE BRUSHES AND USE OF CUTTING WHEELS
• This tool can be used as a regular grinder, for use with sanding paper, wire
brushes and cutting wheels. Follow all safety guidelines, instructions,
descriptions and data supplied with the device. Failure to observe below
guidelines may create risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious body injury.
• Do not use this tool for polishing. Using the device for purposes other than
it is designed for may create risks and cause body injuries.
• Do not use equipment not designed and not recommended by the
manufacturer for use with this power tool. Possibility of equipment
installation in the device alone does not guarantee safe use.
• Maximum permissible rotary speed of a working tool must not be
lower than maximum rotary speed specified for the device. Working
tool that exceeds permissible rotary speed may crack and part of it may splinter.
• Outer diameter and thickness of working tool must match to the
device dimensions. Working tools with incorrect dimensions may be
insufficiently shielded or controlled.
• Working tools with threaded insert must exactly match to spindle
thread. In case of working tools fixed with collar, the working tool
hole diameter must match to the collar diameter. Working tools that do
not allow for precise attachment onto the device rotate unevenly, vibrate very
hardly and can lead to loss of control over the device.
• Do not use damaged working tools under any circumstances. Before
each use check equipment, e.g. grinding wheels for dents and cracks,
grinding plates for cracks, abrasion or heavy wear, wire brushes for
loose or broken wires. In case of dropping the device or working tool,
make sure it is not damaged or use other, undamaged tool. Once the
working tool has been checked and installed, switch on the device and
let it work for one minute at maximum speed. Make sure that operator
and bystanders are beyond range of rotating tool. Damaged tools mostly
break within such test time.
• Wear personal protection equipment. Depending on the task, use
protective mask that shields whole face, eye protection or safety
glasses. When necessary use anti-dust mask, hearing protectors, work
gloves or special apron that protects against small particles of grinding
and grinded material. Protect eyes against particles produced at work and
floating in the air. Anti-dust mask and respiratory protection must filter dust
produced at work. Prolonged exposure to noise may lead to hearing loss.
• Make sure to keep bystanders at safe distance outside of the range of
the device. Each person close to operating device must use personal
protection equipment. Splinters of processed piece or cracked working tool
can chip off and cause damage also beyond direct range.
• When carrying out tasks when the tool can hit hidden electric wires,
hold it only by insulated areas of the handle. Contact with power supply
line may transfer voltage to metal parts of the device and cause electric shock.
• Never put away the device before working tool comes to complete
stop. Rotating tool can contact the surface it is put on, which can cause loss
of control over the device.
• Do not carry the device when it is rotating. Accidental contact of rotating
working tool with clothes may cause catching and plunging of working tool
into operator's body.
• Clean ventilation holes of the device on regular basis. Motor blower sucks
dust into casing and large depositions of metal dust may cause electric hazards.
• Do not use the device in proximity of flammable materials. Sparks can
cause ignition.
• Do not use tools that require liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid
coolants may cause electric shock.
KICKBACK AND RELEVANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Kick back is a sudden device reaction to locking or catching of rotating work
tool, such as grinding wheel, disc, wire brush etc. Catching or locking causes
sudden stopping of rotating work tool. Uncontrolled device is then pulled
in direction opposite to work tool rotations. E.g. when grinding wheel jams
itself in processed piece, wheel edge plunged in material may lock and
cause breaking off or kick back. Grinding wheel movement (towards or
away from operator) depends then on grinding wheel movement direction
at the place it locked. Grinding wheel may also break.
• Kick back is a result of inappropriate use of the device. It can be avoided by
observing below mentioned safety precautions.
• Hold the device firmly, position your hands and body to limit kick back
effect. Always use additional handle when it is included in standard
equipment, to have the greatest possible control of kick back forces
and counter torque during start up. Tool operator can control sudden
pulling and kick back effect by observing appropriate safety precautions.
• Always keep your hands away from rotating working tools. As a result of
kick back, working tool may cause hand injury.
• Stay away from zone of device potential movement at kick back. At kick
back, the device moves in direction opposite to movement of grinding wheel at
the place of jamming.
• Be very careful when processing corners, sharp edges etc. Prevent
rebound or jamming of work tools.
• Rotating work tool is more susceptible to jamming when processing corners,
sharp edges or after rebound. It can cause loss of control or kick back.
• Do not use cutting blades for wood or toothed blades.
• Work tools of this type often cause kick back or loss of control over the device.
DETAILED SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR GRINDING AND CUTTING WITH A
WHEEL
• Only use grinding wheels designed for the device and shield designed
for that wheel. Grinding wheels that are not proper accessories for the device
may not be sufficiently shielded and safe.
• Offset grinding wheels must be installed in such a way that the
grinding surface does not protrude beyond edge of the safety guard.
Unprofessionally installed grinding wheel that protrudes beyond edge of the
safety guard cannot be shielded sufficiently.
• The guard must be securely attached to the device to guarantee the
greatest safety possible. It must be positioned in such a way, that the
grinding wheel section that is unguarded and facing the operator
is reduced to minimum. The guard protects the operator from splinters,
accidental contact with the grinding wheel, and sparks that otherwise could
light up clothes.
• Use grinding wheels only for tasks they are designed for.
• For example, do not use side surface of a cutting wheel for grinding.
Grinding wheels for cutting are designed to remove material with wheel edge.
Side forces applied to the wheel may cause it to crack.
• Always use undamaged fixing flanges with size matching to the
grinding wheel. Proper flanges support grinding wheel and reduce risk of
breaking. Grinding wheels for cutting use flanges that may be different from
flanges designed for other types of grinding wheels.
• Do not use worn out grinding wheels from bigger devices. Grinding
wheels for bigger devices are not designed for higher rotational speed, which is
specific for smaller devices, and therefore they may break.
ADDITIONAL DETAILED SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR CUTTING WITH A
GRINDING WHEEL
• Avoid jamming of cutting wheel and excessive pressure. Do not make
too deep cuts. Overloading the cutting wheel increases its load and risk of
jamming or locking, and in consequence kick back or wheel breaking.
• Avoid areas in front and behind rotating cutting wheel. In the event
of kick back, cutting wheel advance in work piece away from you may cause
bouncing of the device with rotating wheel towards your hand.
• In the event of jamming of cutting wheel or having a break in work,
switch off the device and wait until the wheel comes to complete stop.
Never attempt to remove rotating wheel from cut material, as this may
cause kick back. Find and remove cause of jamming.
• Do not switch on the device back, when it is still in processed material.
Before cutting again, cutting wheel should reach its full rotational
speed. Otherwise the cutting wheel may catch material, bounce out of work
piece or cause kick back.
• Support sheets and large objects before processing to minimise risk
of kick back caused by jammed blade. Large objects can bend under own
weight. Support work piece on both sides, at cutting line and near edge.
Be careful when cutting holes in walls and operating in other areas with
reduced visibility. Wheel plunging into material may cause kick back after
hitting gas lines, water pipes, electric wires and other objects.
