ANGLE GRINDER
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
1.
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.
2.
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 and accidental contact with wheel.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheels intended for larger power tools are not suitable
•
for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
6.
Dress appropriately.
Wear leather leggings and re resistant footwear
•
during use. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with
open pockets, or any clothing that can catch and hold
molten metal or sparks.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE
CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
1.
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 binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
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
1.
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturer's 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
1.
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.
2.
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.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure
to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk
of vibration-related injury:
1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended
period should rst be examined by a doctor and then have
regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand,
past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Reynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any
medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue ngers), seek
medical advice as soon as possible.
2.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood
supply to the hands and ngers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the
user.
4.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice
between different processes.
5.
Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe
control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this
manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.
