SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all instructions.Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area.
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable 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. Unmodified 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 suit-
able 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 tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety 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 finger on the switch or

115MM ANGLE GRINDER DPB095GRD
plugging in 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 these devices 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 tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Poorly maintained power tools cause many accidents.
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 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.
5. Service.
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
HEALTH ADVICE

VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help re-
duce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users.The directive requires
power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to
enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be
used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Work mode description 1 Vibration emission value ah = 4.74m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should
be used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment
of exposure.
Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can
differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used
dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:-
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use of the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good
condition.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed
Warning: identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).NoteThe use of other tools will reduce the
users’ total working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
(where appropriate)

If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of
days.
Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help
identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression
and help employees stay in work.

5. GRINDING WITH THE ANGLE GRINDER
GRINDER (See Fig E)
Attention: Do not switch the grinder
on whilst the disc is in contact with
the work piece. Allow the disc to reach full
speed before starting to grind.
Hold the angle grinder with one hand on the
main handle and the other hand firmly gripping
the 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, maintain an
angle between the disc and work surface of
approximately 15º -30º.
Exert light pressure on abrasive discs for
efficient operation. Pushing too hard will cause a
drop in speed and may result in motor overload
and damage.
Use caution when working into corners as
contact with the intersecting surface may cause
the grinder to jump or twist.
When grinding is complete allow the work piece
to cool. Do not touch the hot surface.
6 CUTTING WITH THE ANGLE GRINDER
Attention: Do not switch the grinder
on whilst the disc is in contact with
the work piece. Allow the disc to reach full
speed before starting to cut.
Hold the angle grinder with one hand on the
main handle and the other hand firmly gripping
the 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, please keep the disc
vertical to the work piece (See Fig F). Never
Fig E

Fig F

change the cutting angle - this will stall the unit
and damage the cutting disc.
Exert light pressure on abrasive disc for efficient
operation. Pushing too hard will cause a drop
in speed and may result in motor overload and
damage.
When cutting is complete, do not touch the hot
cutting surface before the workpiece cooling
down.
7. 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.
In any circumstances,do not attempt to exert too
much pressure on your angle grinder to speed
up your work.
If your angle grinder becomes too hot, run your
angle grinder under no load for 2-3 minutes until
it has cooled to normal operation temperature.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
ANGLE GRINDER
1.Your angle grinder is useful for both cutting
through metals, i.e. for removing screw heads,
and also for cleaning / preparing surfaces, i.e.
before and after welding operations.
2.Different types of wheel/cutter will allow the
grinder to meet various needs.Typically,grinding
wheels&cutting disc’s are available for mild
steel, stainless steel, stone and brick. Diamond
impregnated discs are available for very hard
materials.
3.If the grinder is used on soft metals such as
aluminum the wheel will soon clog and will have
to be changed.
4.At all times, let the grinder do the work, do
not force it or apply excessive pressure to the
wheel/disc.
5.If cutting a slot ensure that the cutter is kept
aligned with the slot, twisting the cutter may
cause the disc to shatter. If cutting through
thin sheet materials, excessive penetration can
increase the chance of causing damage.
6.If cutting stone or brick, it is advisable to use a
dust extractor.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Ensure the grinder is dis-
connected from the mains power sup-
ply before attempting any 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 a
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 in a dry place.
5. If you see some sparks flashing in the
ventilation slots; this is normal and will not
damage your power tool.
6 If the supply cord of this power tool is
damaged, it must be replaced by a specially
prepared cord available through the service
organization.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really very
simple to operate, if you do experience prob-
lems, please check the following:
1. If your grinder will not operate check the
power at the main plug.
2. If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates,
check that outer flange is tight; check that the
wheel is correctly located on the flange plate.
3. If there is any evidence that the wheel is dam-
aged do not use as the damaged wheel may
disintegrate, remove it and replace with a new
wheel. Dispose of old wheels sensibly.
4. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy,
the wheel will soon become clogged and will
not grind effectively.
