ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 

FOR LARGE ANGLE GRINDERS
Safety Instructions for All Operations 

 a) 

This power tool is intended to function 

as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off 

tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, 

illustrations and specifications provided 

with this power tool. 

Failure to follow all 

instructions listed below may result in electric 

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

 b) 

Operation such as polishing is 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 

specifically designed 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. 

Accessories 

running faster than their rated speed can break 

and fly apart.

 e) 

The outside diameter and the thickness of 

your accessory 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 flanges, the 

arbour hole of the accessory must fit the 

locating diameter of the flange. 

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 wheel 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 

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 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 electrical 

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 

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.
