WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions 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 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) 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.

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
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. 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 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.
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.

Safety Warnings Specific for grinding and cutting-off operations
Safety Information
Important - Please read these instructions fully before starting assembly
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 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.
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.

7. REMOVING THE GUARD
Never remove your guard for any other working conditions. To remove, first take off the disc
and both flanges. Then open the clamping lever and rotate the guard to align the projections
with the gear case cut outs, then remove the guard. To re-fit the guard, repeat this process
in reverse. Keep all parts in a safe place.
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 150to 300when 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.

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 15-30 angle between disc and workpiece. Larger angles will cut
ridges into the workpiece 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
Trouble Shooting
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.
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.
