GENERAL SAFETY RULES
2
WARNING!
Please read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas will invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distraction can cause you to
loose control.
Electrical Safety
1. 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.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged cords should be replaced immediately by qualified
repair personnel. Damaged cords will increase the risk of electric shock.
5.When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor heavy duty extension cord and use in conjunction
with a residual current device (RCD).
6.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.
7. Recommendation for the use of a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on may invite accidents.
3. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
6. Use safety equipments. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT suitable for eye protection.

Tool Use and Care
1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the
work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use the tool if the switch cannot be turned on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired before use.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustment, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures can reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children or other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
8. Some accessories suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. Please check
all accessories to be used are suitable.
Service
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
1. Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects operator from broken wheel fragments.
2. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and
other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
3. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
4. Make sure the grinding wheel is not contacting the work piece before the switch is turned on.
5. Grinding wheel and guard must be securely attached as described in this operating manual before
connecting the angle grinder to power source.
6. Grinding wheel must be stored in a dry place.
7. Always hold the grinder firmly with two hands while working and at all times when it is running.
8. Use only quality certified grinding wheels.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. Be careful not to damage the spindle, outer flange and inner flange. Damage to these parts could result in
wheel breakage.
When starting the tool (install with a new or replacement wheel), hold the tool in a well protected area and let it
run for one minute to check if the wheel is good or not. Never starting the tool while the operator is standing at in line
with the wheel.
