GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! 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.
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.
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 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
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 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 finger on the
switch or energising 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

3
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) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
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 fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, or
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as
a grinder, or cut-off tool. 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.
b) Operations such as , sanding, wire brushing,
polishing 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.
c) 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.
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 fly 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.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour
hole of the accessory must fit the locating
diameter of the flange. 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

4
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.
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 fly 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) 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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
o) 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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist 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.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
GRINDING AND CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specific guard
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

5
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.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct 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.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS
a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do 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.
b) Do not position your body in line with and
behind the rotating 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.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any 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.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let 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.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both sides
of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.

be used.
1. GUARD ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG. D)
Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery
pack from your tool.
For work with grinding or cutting discs, the wheel guard
must be mounted.
Wheel Guard for Grinding
The coded projection on the wheel guard ensures that only a
guard that fits the machine type can be mounted.
Open the clamping lever. Place the wheel guard with coded
projection into the coded groove on the spindle of the
machine head and rotate to the required position (working
position).
To fasten the wheel guard, close the clamping lever.
The closed side of the wheel guard must always point to the
operator.
Note: with the clamping lever open the clamp adjusting nut
can be adjusted to ensure the guard is securely clamped
after the clamping lever is finally closed.
Wheel Guard for Cutting
Warning! For cutting metal, always work with the
wheel guard for cutting.
The wheel guard for cutting is mounted in the same manner
as the wheel guard for grinding.
2. INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING AUXILIARY HANDLE (SEE
FIG. E)
You have the option of two working positions to provide the
safest and most comfortable control of your angle grinder.
The handle can be screwed clockwise into either hole on the
sides of the gear case.
NOTE: this handle should be used at all times to maintain
complete control of the tool.
3. FITTING THE DISCS (SEE FIG. F1-F3)

12
Put the inner flange onto the tool spindle. Ensure it is located
on the two flats of spindle (see F1).
Place the disc on the tool spindle and inner flange. Ensure it is
correctly located. Fit the threaded outer flange making sure
it is facing in the correct direction for the type of disc fitted.
For grinding discs, the flange is fitted with the raised portion
facing towards the disc. For cutting discs, the flange is fitted
with the raised portion facing away from the disc (see F2).
Press in the spindle lock button (2) and rotate the spindle
by hand until it is locked. Keeping the lock button pressed in,
tighten the outer flange with the spanner provided. (See F3)
Note:After mounting the grinder tool and before switching
on, check that the grinding tool is correctly mounted and that
it can turn freely, make sure that the grinding tool does not
graze against the protecting guard or other parts.
4. SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON
Clean the grinder spindle and all parts to be mounted. For
clamping and loosening the grinding tools, lock the grinder
spindle with the spindle lock button.
Warning: Actuate the spindle lock button only when
the grinder spindle is at a standstill!

8. TO USE THE GRINDER (SEE FIG. I)
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.
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the main handle and
other hand firmly around 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, keep an angle between the disc and the workpiece
surface at approximately 150to300when grinding. Use
cautiously when working into corners as contacting with the
intersecting surface may cause the grinder to jump or twist.
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.
The abrasive discs operate more efficiently when light
pressure is exerted, thus avoiding a drop in the speed of your
angle grinder.
If your angle grinder becomes too hot, run it no load for 2-3
minutes until it has cooled to normal operation temperature.
10. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED BATTERY PACK
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of
the battery pack properly. This battery pack contains Lithium
batteries. Consult your local waste authority for information
regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
Discharge your battery pack by operating your drill, then
remove the battery pack from the drill housing and cover the
battery pack connections with heavy duty adhesive tape to
prevent short circuit and energy discharge. Do not attempt to
open or remove any of the components.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR ANGLE
GRINDER
1. Always start at no load to achieve maximum speed then
start working.
2. Do not force the disc to work faster, reducing the disc’s
moving speed means longer working time.
3. Always work with a 15° to 30° angle between disc and

and affect the surface finish. Move the angle grinder
across and back and forth over the workpiece.
4. When using a cutting disc never change the
cutting angle otherwise you will stall the disc and
angle grinder motor or break the disc. When cutting,
only cut in the opposite direction to the disc rotation.
If you cut in the same direction as the disc rotation
the disc may push itself out of the cut slot.
5. When cutting very hard material best results can
be achieved with a diamond disc.
6. When using a diamond disc it will become very hot.
If this happens you will see a full ring of sparks around
the rotating disc. Stop cutting and allow to cool at no
load speed for 2-3 minutes.
7. Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or
clamped to prevent movement.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power
tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always
store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free
of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the
ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage
your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really very simple
to operate, if you do experience problems, please
check the following:
1. If your grinder disc wobbles or vibrates, check if
the outer flange is tightened or if the disc is correctly
located on the flange plate.
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 drill 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.
