complete stop. The spinning accessory
may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require
liquid coolants. Using water or other
liquid coolants may result in electrocution
or shock.
q) Your hand must hold on the handle when
you are working. Always use the auxiliary
handles supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.

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.
Angle grinder
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 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
operator from broken wheel fragments
and accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
