HEALTH ADVICE
Warning! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be
produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with,
this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).
You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY POINTS FOR YOUR ANGLE GRINDER
1. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
2. Fully unwind cable drum extensions to void potential overheating. When an exten-
sion cable is required you must ensure it has the correct ampere rating for your power
tool and is in a safe electrical condition.
3. When an extension cable is required you must ensure it has the correct ampere rating
for your power tool and is in a safe electrical condition.
4. Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your tool ‘s rating plate voltage.
5. Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against possible electrical insu-
lation failure within the tool.
6. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to void hidden power cables and pipes.
7. After long working periods external metal parts and accessories could be hot.
8. Ensure your angle grinder is switched off before inserting the mains plug.
9. Only use your angle grinder for dry grinding/cutting.
10. Ensure all electric cables can not contact your angle grinder rotating disc.
11. Never stop a disc or accessory by applying side load.
12. Never cut with grinding disc or grind with a cutting disc.
13. Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding.
14. Check that speed marked on the wheel is equal to or greater than the rated speed
of the grinder.
15. Ensure that the wheel dimensions are compatible with the grinder.
16. Abrasive wheels shall be stored and handled with care in accordance with manu-
facturer ‘s instruction.
17. Inspect the grinding wheel before use, do not use chipped, cracked or otherwise
defective products.
18. Ensure that mounted wheels and points are fitted in accordance with the manufac-
turer ‘s instructions.
19. Ensure that blotters reused when they are provided with the bonded abrasive prod-
uct and when they are required.
20. Ensure that the abrasive product is correctly mounted and tightened before use and
run the tool at no-load for 30 seconds in a safe position, stop immediately if there is
considerable vibration or if other defects are detected. If this condition occurs, check the
machine to determine the cause.
21. If using cup wheels cones, flap wheels with thneaded holes, cone must be taken to
ensure that no parts touch the grinder when moving.
22. If a guard is supplied with the tool never use the tool without such a guard.
23. Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters to adapt large hole abrasive
