ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire
Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-O Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grin-
der, sander, wire brush or cut-o tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and speci cations
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as 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 speci cally desi-
gned 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. Accesso-
ries running faster than their rated speed can break and y apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-
sory 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 an-
ges, the arbour hole of the accessory must t the locating
diameter of the ange. 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,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an accessory, position your-
self 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 glas-
ses. 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 ying debris generated by various operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ltrating 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 protec-
tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may y 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 accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you
lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm
may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
l) 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.
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 ammable materi-
als. 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.
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
