operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with
wheel, and sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For
d)
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.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct
e)
size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges
support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel
f)
intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed
of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do
a)
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.
Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating
b)
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.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
c)
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.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let
d)
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.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the
e)
risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to
sag under their own weight. Support must be placed under the
workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece
on both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing
f)
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:
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow
a)
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 disk or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its
a)
attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose
attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can
entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even
a)
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.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do
b)
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 Warnings:
In tools adapted to attach grinding wheels with a threaded hole,
a)
check whether the thread length of the grinding wheel is suitable
for the length of the spindle thread.
Secure the workpiece. Attaching the workpiece to the clamping
b)
device or vise is safer than holding it in your hand.
Do not touch the cutting and grinding discs until they have
c)
cooled down.
When using a quick-setting flange, make sure that the
d)
internal flange mounted on the spindle is equipped with a
rubber O-ring and that the ring is undamaged. It should also
be ensured that the surfaces of the external flange and the
internal flange are clean.
Use the quick clamping flange only with abrasive and cutting
e)
discs. Only use undamaged and properly functioning flanges.
In the event of a temporary power outage in the network or after
f)
removing the plug from the power socket with the switch in the
"on" position, before re-starting, unlock the switch and set it in the
off position.
CAUTION! This device is designed to operate indoors. The
design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and
additional safety systems are used, nevertheless there is
always a small risk of injuries at work.

DESIGN AND APPLICATION
The angle grinder is a hand-held power tool with the II
class isolation. The power tool is driven with a single-phase,
commutator motor, whose rotational speed is reduced by means
of an intersecting axis gear. The power tool can used both for
grinding and cutting. This type of power tools is widely used for
removal of burrs from metal surfaces, weld surface processing,
cutting light-wall tubes and other small metal objects etc. They
are used in engineering industry, automotive and chemical
industry. With the use of proper tools, the angle grinder can be
used not only for cutting or grinding, but also for rust and paint
coats removal.
The areas of its application include repair and construction
works, not only related to metals. The angle grinder can also be
used for cutting and grinding of construction materials, such as
brick, paving stones, ceramic tiles, etc.
The power tool is designed for dry operation only and it must
not be used for polishing. The power tool should be used
according to its purpose.
Use inconsistent with its purpose
• Do not work materials that contain asbestos. Asbestos is
carcinogenic.
• Do not work materials, whose dust is inflammable or
explosive. During operation, the power tool produces sparks,
which may ignite emitted vapours.
