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.
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 disc or kickback.
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 and Working Instructions
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that
no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no
combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark flight
zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Avoid flying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibra-
tions or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to
find out the cause.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with
the arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding disk), significant
contamination can build up on the inside of the angle grinder. For
safety reasons, in such conditions a ground fault interrupter must
be connected in series. If the ground fault interrupter trips the
machine must be sent for service.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is
running.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in fluid or al-low a fluid to flow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can
cause a short circuit.Use only System M18 chargers for charging
System M18 battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other
systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The angle grinder is intended for grinding and cutting metal, stone
and ceramic materials as well as sanding and wire brushing.
Use the cutting guard from the accessories range for cutting
application.
Please refer to the instructions supplied by the accessory manu-
facturer.
The machine is suitable only for working without water.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole wheel,
ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the
spindle length.
Always use and store the cutting and grinding disks according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
Always use the correct guard for cutting and grinding.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed disks must be moun-
ted min. 2 mm below the plane of the guard lip.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady.
Never move the workpiece towards the rotating disk by hand.
The flange nut must be securely tightened before the machine is
started.
If the tool is not securely tightened with the flange nut, it is
possible that the tool will lose the required clamping force when it
is decelerated.
In the event that a power failure occurs whilst the machine is
operating, the brake function will be inoperative.
ELECTRONICS
The built-in electronic will keep a constant speed even under
increased load.
In case of overload, the rotational speed is being reduced until
machine stops.
The machine has an overload and anti-kickback safety function and
stops if it is overloaded.
Please note that the machine will automatically accelerate back to
its original operating speed if the load is removed from it.
After it has reached its operating speed the machine is ready for
use again.
RESTART CUTOUT
A zero-voltage switch prevents the machine from restarting after
a power cut.
When resuming work, switch the machine off and then switch it
back on again.
SMOOTH START
Electronic smooth start for save use prevents jerky run-up of the
machine.
