on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service

personnel using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is

Additional safety rules for angle grinders
• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure that it
has the right ampere rating for your power tool and is in safe
electrical condition.
• Always switch off before you put the angle grinder down.
• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this tool.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left
around the work area.
• If you are interrupted when operating the tool, complete the
process and switch off before looking up.
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are
properly tightened.
• Check the disc before mounting it into the angle grinder. Check
by striking it with a wooden handle whilst balancing the disc on
your finger. Listen for the ring and do not use if dull, as the disc
may be cracked.
• When the disc is installed, run it for at least one minute to
ensure that it does not have a fault. It is always advisable to
stay out of the line of the disc when testing or when using the
tool.
• Do not use a disc marked with a lower RPM than that of the
no load speed shown on the rating plate.
• Use discs only of the prescribed diameter.
• Do not use the angle grinder for buffing or polishing under any
circumstances.
• Never try to operate the angle grinder without the guard in
place.
• Do not secure the angle grinder in a vice or work bench and
use it as a static grinder. It can lead to serious injury.
• Never apply excessive pressure to the disc. It might shatter
causing personal injury.
• Ensure the work piece to be ground or cut, is held tight in the
vice or other clamping system.
