WARNING
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
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.
Only use the Angle Grinder as described
in this manual. The use of any accessory
or attachment or performance of any
operation with this tool other than those
recommended in this instruction manual
may present a risk of personal injury and/
or damage to property.
This tool 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.
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.
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 while operating the power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
BEFORE USE.
WARNING! Know your Angle Grinder. Do
not plug the tool into the power source
until you have read and understood the
information in this manual. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this
tool, in order to reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire or serious injury.
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
repaired or replaced. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in serious personal
injury.
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 the risk of personal
injury.
WARNING! Contact with, or inhalation
of, dusts arising from cutting applications
may endanger the health of the operator
and possible bystanders. Wear a dust
mask specifically designed for protection
against dust and fumes and ensure that
persons within or entering the work area
are also protected.
Always wear eye protection. Any power
tool can throw foreign objects into your
eyes and cause permanent eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles (not glasses)
that comply with ANSI safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact-
resistant lenses. They are not safety

WARNING
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
glasses.
WARNING! Wearing glasses or goggles
not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 when
operating this tool could cause serious
injury.
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.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
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.
Use clamps, or another practical way, to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the workpiece
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Make sure that there are no nails or
foreign objects in the path of the
workpiece to be cut or sanded.
Be aware of hidden hazards. Before
cutting into walls, floors or ceilings, check
for the location of wiring and pipes.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before
connecting to the 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 are switched on, invites
accidents.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE.
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! Only use accessories
recommended for use with this Angle
Grinder. Follow the instructions that
accompany the accessories. The use of
improper accessories may result in injury
to the operator or damage the tool.
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.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool.
Do not use a power tool whilst tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention
while operating a power tool may result
in serious personal injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. A cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Keep hands away from the cutting area.
Never reach underneath the workpiece
for any reason. Do not insert fingers or
thumb into the vicinity of the blades/
sanding attachments. Do not stabilise the
Angle Grinder by gripping the shoe.
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

WARNING
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery back from
the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories
or storing. Such preventative safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
The blade will continue to move after
releasing the switch. Always switch the
tool off and wait for the blade to come to
a complete standstill before putting the
tool down.
Do not touch the workpiece or the blade
immediately after operating the tool.
They can become very hot.
STORAGE & MAINTENANCE.
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.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
Keep blades sharp. Dull or damaged
blades may cause the Angle Grinder to
swerve or stall under pressure. Always use
the appropriate type of blade/sandpaper
for the work-piece material and type of
cut/sanded.
When cutting pipe or conduit, make sure
that they are free from water, electrical
wiring, etc.
Never use dull blades in the tool. They
will cut slower, leave rough cuts and
break easily due to added pressure and
excessive heat. They will also overload
the motor and cause premature failure of
the tool.
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. Do
not attempt repairs yourself.
The following safety symbols may appear on this product. Please ensure you understand their
meanings before operating the Angle Grinder in order to prevent personal injury
and avoid damage to the tool.
