Safety warnings

for grinders

• Take some time to evaluate the job and double -check 

you are obeying all the cautions necessary before you start 

grinding.

      • Remove any vice from the tool. 

Otherwise they can fly away causing serious injury to the 

user. 

       • Verify the grinding accessory is not 

broken or cracked.

      • Double-check the switch is off (see page 

7) before connecting the tool. Otherwise it could start 

unexpectedly causing severe injury.

       • Start the tool 30 seconds before using 

to detect considerable vibrations or any kind of unusual 

movement.  If detected disconnect the tool and take it to a 

                                authorized Service Center.

         • When working with small pieces fix 

them with vices. Never use your hands for that purpose.

Before operating the grinder

       • Do not start the too while the 

accessory is in contact with the work piece.

         • Wear safety glasses,

gloves and hearing protection when

operating the tool.

         • Keep the cord or the extension cord 

behind the tool to prevent from accidentally damage 

them with the accessory.

         • Never hold the tool by the power 

cable. Hold by the housing or auxiliary handle.

       • Hold the tool by the insulated 

grabbing parts when carrying out operations where there 

is risk that the cutting tool makes contact with hidden 

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

will electrify the exposed parts and give an electric shock 

to the operator.

• Never hit the work area with the accesory. 

       • To get better results while grinding, the 

inclination between the accessory and the work surface 

should have a 0° to 30° angle.

       • Do not touch both the accessory and 

the work piece immediately after grinding. Wait for them 

to cool down to handle. Do nit try to cool them using 

water or oil.

         • Double-check the tool is disconnec-

ted before checking, adjusting or changing accessory.

      • Sparks caused by grinding may be 

dangerous if adequate measures are not observed. Verify 

they do not make contact with the skin or flammable 

substances.

       • Kickback is the reaction caused by a 

rotating disc, pad or any other accessory that gets stuck or 

pinched. Pinching causes the rotating accessory to stop 

suddenly and send the tool in the opposed way. Kickback 

results for misuse of the tool or because of incorrect 

procedures or conditions. This can be prevented with the 

following caution measures.

• Hold the tool firmly and place your body and arm in a 

way they can resist the kickback force. To gain complete 

control over kickback or the torque reactions during start 

up use the auxiliary handle, if supplied with the tool. The 

user can control the torque reaction or the kickback force 

when following the necessary cautions.

• Never place the hand close to the moving accessory. The 

accessory can make kickback against your hand.

• Do not stand in the area into which the tool could move 

in case of kickback.

• Use special care when working around sharp corners, etc.  

Avoid bouncing the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or 

bouncing stop the rotating accessory and cause loosing 

control or kickback.
