Safety Rules for Cordless Angle Grinders
dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspect-
ing 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.
i. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As ap-
propriate, wear dust mask, hearing protec-
tors, 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 applications. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating par-
ticles generated by the particular applica-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
j. 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.
k. Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
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 cloth-
ing, 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 flam-
mable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
p. Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid cool-
ants may result in electrocution or shock.
q. Only use Bosch or Bosch-licensed X-Lock
accessories. Incompatible accessories may
not clamp properly resulting in personal
injury and/or property damage.
r. Confirm proper clamping by ensuring that
top of the accessory flange surface is not
above the top of the accessory height
gage. Accessories that are above the acces-
sory height gage may not be clamped prop-
erly and separate from the tool causing
personal injury and/or property damage.
s. Always inspect accessory mount and ac-
cessory clamping flange before use. Do
not use the tool or accessory if the acces-
sory mount or accessory is damaged or de-
formed. Accessories that are not clamped
properly may cause personal injury and/or
property damage.
t. Check for presence or buildup of foreign
material on tool and accessory clamping
surfaces and remove before use. Unwant-
ed material can cause incomplete clamp-
ing and may cause personal injury and/or
property damage.
u. Never actuate X-Lock Release Lever while
accessory is moving. Make sure that the
accessory has come to a complete stop
before removing the accessory. Releasing
accessory while still spinning could cause
personal injury and/or property damage.
2. 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
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 move-
