yourself 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 glasses.
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 flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
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 protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of
a broken accessory may fly 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. 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) 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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.

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
20V Cordless Brushless Angle Grinder EN
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.
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 grinding surface of centre depressed
wheels must be mounted below the plane
of the guard lip. An improperly mounted
wheel that projects through the plane of the
guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for
