1
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION.
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.
Please retain 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.
INTENDED USE.
This 20 Max Angle Grinder is not
intended for use by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instructions concerning use of the tool by
a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure
they do not play with the tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY.
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep bystanders, children and animals
away whilst operating the power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
BEFORE USE.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts to prevent them from becoming
caught in the tool.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure that these are connected and
properly used to reduce dust-related
hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch, or
energising power tools that are switched
on, invites accidents.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. A power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
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.
WARNING! Use only accessories
recommended for this tool. Follow
the instructions that accompany the
accessories. The use of improper
accessories may result in injury to the
operator or damage the tool.
WARNING! If any part is missing or
damaged, do not plug the tool into the
power source or install any accessory until
the missing or damaged part is replaced.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in serious personal injury.

WARNING
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
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.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This will enable
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
AVOIDING KICKBACK
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always
use the 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.
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory the accessory may kickback
over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in
the direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.
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.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE.
Maintain the power tool. 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.
Store idle power tools out of 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.
SERVICE.
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using identical
replacement parts only to ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
IMPORTANT PRODUCT CARE

Care MUST be taken to ensure both
the safety and life of the battery is
maintained. Ensure you have read all of
the safety information in the previous
pages before using the tool.
Safety devices and circuitry for this tool
are located in the battery of this tool. The
battery is a vital component, not just for
