SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ANGLE GRINDER
• This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush or cut-off tool . Read all safety warn-
ings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provid-
ed with this power tool . Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury .
• Operations such as polishing are 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 .
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-
signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer .
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation .
• 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 .
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-
sory must be within the capacity rating of your power
tool . Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled .
• 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 .
• Do not use a damaged accessory . Before each use in-
spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels 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 .
• Wear personal protective equipment . Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses . As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protec-
tors, gloves and shop 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 oper-
ation . Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss .
• 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 .
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting acces-
sory 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 electric shock .
• 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 wheel .
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop . The spinning wheel may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of your control .
• 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 .
• 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 .
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-
als . Sparks could ignite these materials .
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants . Us-
ing water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-
cution or shock .

hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead to ex-
plosion . Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock .
