Safety Standards for

Angle Grinders

       • Never use discs with bigger diameter 

than the size required in the tool.

         • Use only discs or accessories for 

minimum or more than 6700 RPM speeds.

       • Use only discs or accessories with an 

orifice that fits perfectly in the tool spindle.

       • Use only discs or accessories specifically 

designed for the chosen material.

• Set apart some time and assess the job you are about to 

do. Pay attention to all the necessary cautions before 

starting to grind.

      • Remove all the fastening wrenches from 

the tool. Otherwise they can shoot away causing sever 

injuries to the user. 

          • Double-check the guard. It should be 

perfectly fastened and in good working condition. Do not 

use the tool without a guard.

       • Double-check the disc. It should not be 

broken or cracked. Tap the disc gently with a wooden 

hammer and listen for a strange sound to learn if is 

cracked.

      • Before plugging the tool, see if is in the 

OFF position (see pag. 7 turning on). Otherwise the tool 

could start unexpectedly causing severe injuries.

       • Run the tool 30 seconds before using, 

to detect important vibration or any type of unusual 

movement.  If detected, unplug the tool and take it to a 

                                Authorized Service Center.

       • See if the disc rotates freely.  

• Do not tighten the disc. It could brake.

         • To work with small work pieces fasten 

with wrenches. Never use your hands to hold the piece.

       • Do not start the tool when the disc is 

touching the work piece.

         • Wear safety glasses, gloves

and an apron when using the tool.

         • Keep the power cable or extension in 

the back of the tool. Avoid accidentally damaging the 

cables with the disc.

          • Never hold the tool by the power 

cable. Hold by the housing or auxiliary handle.

       • Hold the tool by the isolated parts.    

The cutting tool could come into contact with hidden 

wiring or its own cable. Making contact with a “live” wire 

causes the metal parts to electrify and give an electric 

shock to the user.

• Never hit the work surface with the disc.

       • To get the best result with the grinding 

process, the inclination of the disc and the working 

surface should have an angle measuring 15° to 30°

      • When the disc is rotating never use the 

spindle lock to stop it. It is very dangerous and may cause 

injuries to the user.

       • Do not touch the disc or the working 

piece after grinding. Wait for them to cool down. Never 

try to cool them down using water or oil.

          • Before checking, adjusting or 

changing discs, double-check the tool is not plugged in.

      • Sparks caused when grinding may be 

dangerous. Use caution. Make sure sparks do not get into 

contact with skin or flammable substances.
