GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder. Read all safety warnings, instructions,
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polishing or 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.
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
d) 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 y apart.
e) 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.

6
EN
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories
mounted by anges, the arbour hole of the accessory must t the locating diameter of the ange.
Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear 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.
h) 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 ying debris generated by various operations . The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) 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 y
away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool 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.
k) 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.
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 clothing, 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.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
Further safety instructions for all operations
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
the 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 movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.

7
EN
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be
adequately guarded and are unsafe
b) The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the
guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be
adequately protected.
c) 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 the
operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
d) 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.
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.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is
not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

8. USE THE GRINDER (See Fig. H)
ATTENTION: Do not switch the grinder on while the disc is in contact with the workpiece.
Allow the disc to reach full speed before starting grinding.
WARNING: Never use a cutting disc for grinding. When grinding, only use disc guard for grinding,
do not use other disc and disc guard which is not mentioned in this manual.
CAUTION: Please support the workpiece properly.
Holdyouranglegrinderwithonehandonthemainhandleandotherhandrmlyaroundthe
auxiliary handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of the exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc touches the metal.
For best tool control, material removal and minimum overloading, keep an angle between the disc
and the workpiece surface at approximately 15oto 30owhen grinding.
Use cautiously when working into corners as contacting with the intersecting surface may cause the
grinder to jump or twist.
NOTE: When side grinding and peripheral grinding, also need to keep the angle between the disc
and the workpiece surface at approximately 15º to 30º.
When grinding is complete, allow the workpiece to cool. Do not touch the hot surface.
9. OVERLOAD
Overloading will cause damage to the motor of your angle grinder. This can happen if your angle
grinder is subjected to heavy use for prolonged periods of time.
Never attempt to exert too much pressure on your angle grinder to speed up your work.

MAINTENANCE
1. Keep the grinder ventilation slots clean and free from obstructions. If available, blow compressed
air into the vents to clear any internal dust (safety goggles must be worn when undertaking this
process).
2. Keep the outer case of the grinder clean and free from grease. Do not wash with water or use
solvents or abrasive. Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool. Never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
3. Your angle grinder requires no additional lubrication. There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool.
4. Always store your power tool and your accessories in a dry place and out of the reach of children.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really very simple to operate, if you do experience problems,
please check the following:
1.Ifyourgrinderdiscwobblesorvibrates,checkiftheouterangeistightenedorifthediscis
correctlylocatedontheangeplate.
2. Do not use the damaged disc as it may disintegrate. Remove it and replace with a new disc.
Dispose of old disc sensibly.
3. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy, the disc will soon become clogged and will not grind
effectively.
4. A small amount of battery pack leakage may occur under extreme temperatures or after heavy
use. Immediately wash any leakage from hands, skin or clothes with soap and water.
5. The power-draw from the battery generates heat. This is increased as the energy draw increases.
You will not damage the battery pack and the generated heated heat is normal. Should you desire to
cool it down, simply allow the tool to cool off prior to continuing work.
6. The battery pack may get warm when charging. This is normal. It is a result from the stepping
down of the chemical reactions inside the batteries during the charging process.
7. The charger will get warm during charging. This is normal. It is a result of the stepping down of
the main supply.
