SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDER, CUT-OFF TOOL, SANDER AND WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS A) THIS POWER TOOL IS INTENDED TO FUNCTION AS À GRINDER, CUT-OFF TOOL, SANDER AND WIRE BRUSHING OPERATION. 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) OPERATIONS SUCH AS POLISHING OR HOLE CUTTING ARE NOT TO BE PERFORMED WITH THIS POWER TOOL. OPERATIONS FOR WHICH THE POWER TOOL WAS NOT DESIGNED MAY CREATE À HAZARD AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. © DO NOT CONVERT THIS POWER TOOL TO OPERATE IN A WAY WHICH IS NOT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND SPECIFIED BY THE TOOL MANUFACTURER. SUCH À CONVERSION MAY RESULT IN À LOSS OF CONTROL AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. D) DO NOT USE ACCESSORIES WHICH ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND SPECIFIED BY THE TOOL MANUFACTURER. JUST BECAUSE THE ACCESSORY CAN BE ATTACHED TO YOUR POWER TOOL, IT DOES NOT ASSURE SAFE OPERATION. E)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.

Kickback and Related Warnings Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point ofthe binding. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to dimb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheels movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. À. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand. C. Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheels movement at the point of snagging. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback. . Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Spedfic for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting Off Operations: A. Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. B. The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane ofthe guard lip cannot be adequately protected. €. The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing. D. Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter. E. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges. FE. Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst. G. When using dual purpose wheels always use the correct guard for the application being performed. Failure to use the correct guard may not provide the desired level of guarding, which could lead to serious injury. Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Cutting-Off Operations: A. Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility ofkickback or wheel breakage. B. Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

C. When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding. D. Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece. E. Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides ofthe wheel. F. Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback. G. Do not attempt to do curved cutting. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage, which can lead to serious injury. Additional safety instructions for sanding operations: a) Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending too far beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback. Additional safety instructions for wire brushing operations: a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin. b) If the use of a guard is specified for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission value(s) have been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another; The declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. WARNING! The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared values depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind ofworkpiece is processed; The emissions need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time). WARNING! Grinding thin sheets of metal or other easily vibrating structures with a large surface can result in a total noise emission much higher (up to 15 dB) than the decared noise emission values. Such workpieces should as far as possible be prevented from emit- ting sound by suitable measures such as the application of heavy flexible damping mats. The increased noise emission is also to be considered for both the risk assessment of noise exposure and selecting adequate hearing protection.

SWITCH TRIGGER To turn the grinder ON, push forward the orange button below the handle and press the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, just release the switch trigger

GENERAL OPERATION . If you have just installed an accessory or are beginning a period of work, test the disc by letting it spin for one minute before applying it to the workpiece. WARNING! Never use an accessory that has been dropped. Out-of-balance or damaged accessories can dammage workpiece, damage the tool, and cause stress that may cause accessory failure.

2. Use a camp, vise or other practical means to hold your work, freeing both hands to control

3. WARNING! Hold tool securely with both hands.

4. Allow accessory to come to full speed before beginning work.

5. Control pressure and surface contact between accessory and workpiece. WARNING! Never

bang accessory onto work. Too much pressure causes accessory failure or slows speed.

6. When finished, turn offthe tool and make sure it comes to a complete stop before laying it

For grinding operation, always use the specific guard dedicated to grinding operation. The guard type must match the disc type to provide maximum protection for the operator if the disc should break. When side grinding and peripheral grinding applications, hold tools at a 15° to 20° angle, using constant pressure for a uniform finish. Too great an angle causes concentrated pressure on small areas which may gouge or burn the work surface. WARNING! When using a Type A (cut-off) wheel guard for facial grinding, the wheel guard may interfere with the workpiece causing poor control WARNING! When using a Type A (cut-off), Type B (grinding) or Type C (combination) wheel guard for cutting-off and fadal operations in concrete or masonry, there is an increased risk of exposure to dust and loss of control resulting in kickback

USING QUICK GUARD FOR CUTTING

For cutting operation, always use the specific guard dedicated to cut off operations Quick guard for cutting is suited for small cut-off and shallow notching operations only.

WARNING: The guard type must match the disc type to provide maximum protection for

the operator if the wheel should break. When using a quick guard for cutting, hold the tool as shown, using only the edge ofthe disc. WARNING! Using the face of a quick guard for cutting will cause the disc to crack and break, resulting in serious personal injury WARNING! When using a Type B (grinding) wheel guard for cutting-off operations with bonded abrasive wheels, there is an increased risk of exposure to emitted sparks and particles, as well as exposure to wheel fragments in the event of wheel burst. WARNING! When using a Type A (cut-off), Type B (grinding) or Type C (combination) wheel guard for cutting-off and facial operations in concrete or masonry, there is an increased risk of exposure to dust and loss of control resulting in kickback

POSITIONING THE GUARD

The guard on the grinder should be correctly positioned depending on which side the handle is mounted. Never use the grinder without the guard correctly in place.

WARNING: Never place the guard so that it is in front ofthe grinder.

This could result in serious injury because sparks and loose particles thrown from the disc would be directed toward the operator. Always place the guard in the correct location. To reposition the guard: Unlock the guard clasp by pulling the clasp out, rotate the guard to its correct position, away from the grinder. Lock the guard clasp by pushing the casp in. NOTE: Be sure the raised ridge on the guard is seated in the groove on the bearing cap. Never use the grinder without the guard in place and properly adjusted. Before repositionning the guard please make sure that the powertool is unplugged from the power source.

Installing or moving protective cover

WARNING: Ensure the angle grinder is switch off and unplugged from the mains.

Depending on whether your operation is cutting or grinding, select the correct protective cover. Failure to use the right cover for operation could result in injury. When using a grinding or cutting-off wheel, the protective guard must be fitted on the tool so that the closed side of the cover always points toward the operator. Install the guard: release the lock lever of the guard and insert it on the gear head, and turn/ adjust in any desired position for maximum performance, then close the lock lever. Make sure thatthe fastening lever is properly locked after setting the guard. To remove the protective cover, follow the installation procedure in reverse. The protective cover cn be tumed to a desired angle, but not more than 45° on left side or right side. Please use grinding protective cover for grinding operation.
