ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire
Brushing and Polishing Operations
• This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, or polisher. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Operations such as cutting-off are not recommended to be
performed with this power tool. Operations for which the
power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause
personal injury.
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed
and recommended by the tool manufacturer. 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 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 accessory
must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded
or controlled.
• The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any
other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power
tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect
the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and
cracks, backing pad for cracks, tears or excess wear, wire
brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory
is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting 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.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending 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 abrasive 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 hearing loss.
• 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.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces 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 shock the operator.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you
lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand
or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
• 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.
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at 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 motor's
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
