General Safety
WARNING: 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.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service

Specific Safety
Grinder safety
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with the power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) 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.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool it does not assure safe operation.
d) 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.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit on the spindle of your power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush, wire, 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.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use faceshield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. 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 operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the 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.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory 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.
k) 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 accessory.
1) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it to your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory may snag clothing, pulling the accessory towards your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool's vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
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 of the 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 climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump towards or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's 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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body an 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.
b) 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 the direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
d) 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.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety warnings specific 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 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.
c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
d) 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.
e) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for larger power tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional safety warnings specific for abrasive 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 of kickback 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 minimise 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 of the 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.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer's recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.
Safety warnings specific 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 the guard is recommended 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.
Additional grinder safety
WARNING: When using straight and depressed centre cutting-off wheels (type 41 and 42) plus grinding wheels that grind on the edge only (type 1), a cutting guard or cut-off guard must be fitted.
WARNING: DO NOT operate a grinder without the appropriate guards in place. Reset the guard if the work angle or the position of the person operating the machine changes.
WARNING: Always check for an expiry date of the grinding or cutting disc before use (remove from tool if necessary). This will be either printed on the label or stamped on the inner steel ring of the disc. DO NOT use an expired disc as it may shatter in use.
- The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected
- Do not touch grinding or cutting discs after use until they have cooled down
- Reset the on/off switch of the tool to the 'off' position whenever the power is interrupted
- The machine can be subject to overload if too much application force is exerted. Overload can lead to overheating and damage of the power tool. After use, continue to run the tool at no-load for several minutes in order to cool it down by using the fan of the motor
- When operating the grinder, it is an essential safety requirement that the correct type of guard is installed for each application to prevent injury. For example, a cutting guard must be installed when using a cutting or diamond disc, and a grinding guard must be used with grinding discs
- Grinding tool accessories must be mounted, used and stored in compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations
- Use the correct type of cutting or grinding disc for the task and material. Check the label on the disc or accessory to find out if it is appropriate to use on the workpiece
- If discs are supplied with blotters they must be fitted and used correctly. Not fitting blotters may cause the disc to shatter in use and be a safety risk
- Ensure the cutting/grinding disc or accessory is fitted correctly and securely before use. Run the machine with the disc or accessory fitted, but without load, for a reasonable time before attempting to cut/grind. If excessive vibration occurs, stop the machine, investigate and correct the cause before use. Seek professional guidance if you are in doubt about how to operate the machine safely
- Do not allow discs to become wet or contaminated with oil. If you suspect a disc has degraded in storage, or if you are unsure whether its expiry date has passed, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
- Do not attempt to cut or grind magnesium or any alloy that has high magnesium content
- Hold the machine appropriately to ensure that debris produced does not land on skin or clothing
- Do not touch the spindle lock button while the tool is operating
- A grinding disc will gradually wear down during use, reducing its size. If a disc becomes too small to work with easily, stop using it and replace it with a new disc
Additional safety for super abrasives
- Superabrasives are generally inflexible and could shatter, so must be handled with the utmost care. Damaged or improperly mounted superabrasives are dangerous and can cause SEVERE injury to the user and other people in the vicinity
- Types of superabrasive wheels include diamond cutting discs, welded metal discs, CBN discs etc. Choose your superabrasive tool carefully, taking into consideration the workpiece material, the machine dimensions and capabilities. Make sure the machine does not exceed the maximum operating speed of the superabrasive disc
- NEVER use superabrasive cutting discs for side grinding, as this might lead to the disc shattering
- Superabrasive wheels have to be carefully inspected and tested before mounting. Metal wheels should be subjected to a sound test: hold the wheel on a mandrel or with a finger inserted through the bore, then tap it with a non-metallic object at several points and listen each time to the sound produced. An intact wheel will produce a clear 'bell like' metallic sound. Damaged wheels will give a dull, chattering sound. If in doubt, DO NOT USE, MARK AS DAMAGED AND DISCARD
Make sure the machine's mounting flange is compatible with the superabrasive wheel. Refer to the manufacturer's mounting instructions - ALWAYS conduct a test run after mounting, with no load for at least 30 seconds, to
determine if the wheel runs balanced and does not produce excessive vibration. If it does, switch off IMMEDIATELY, remove the disc, inspect, re-mount and re-test if no damage is detected
- If planning on using the superabrasive wheel with a coolant, liquid dust suppressant or lubricant, first check if the wheel, machine and workpiece are compatible with wet cutting and with the compound to be used. Always apply liquid to an already running wheel, never to a non-moving tool, as the unbalance could lead to the rupture of the wheel. When switching off, remove the liquid supply first and let the machine run at no-load, until centrifugal forces have drained all liquid from the wheel. Dry off the wheel after use, and prevent liquid from being absorbed into the wheel
Avoiding angle grinder burnout
Note: grinders are designed to work under load. Provided the motor is cooled quickly, minimal wear or damage will occur.
DO NOT over work the angle grinder.
- If the grinder emits a burning smell, DO NOT stop the grinder; instead, remove from load and allow to spin freely for approximately 5-10 seconds at high speed to cool the motor before continuing work.
- Repeat the removal of the grinder from load intermittently to keep the tool cool during use. If a grinder is slowing down on sticky material whilst under load:
- Check the correct grinding wheel type is being used.
- Make shallower passes across the material.

Grinding
- Only use discs specifically manufactured for grinding operations. Stone and metal grinding discs are not interchangeable. Use the correct disc for the application
When grinding, keep the tool at approximately 15 to 30^ to the workpiece surface (Fig. VI).
Note: Do not apply too much pressure to the tool whilst grinding. Excessive pressure does not result in more effective removal of material, but will in fact cause premature wear of the grinding disc and will increase wear and tear on the tool.
Cutting
WARNING: Always ensure the correct guard (optional accessory) for use with cutting discs or superabrasive wheels is installed.
Note: This machine is not designed for wet cutting.
Only use discs specifically manufactured for cutting operations. Stone and metal cutting discs are not interchangeable. Use the correct disc for the application
- Never use cutting discs for grinding operations. The disc might shatter and produce projectiles that could injure the operator and/or bystanders
- When cutting, always keep the angle of the disc constant. Do not apply any sideways force to cutting discs, as this might lead to the disc becoming jammed in the cut and shattering
WARNING: Do not apply too much pressure to the tool whilst cutting. Excessive pressure does not result in more effective or faster cutting, but will in fact cause premature wear of the cutting disc and increase wear and tear on the tool.
Note: The cutting disc will wear during use, and the disc diameter will gradually reduce in size. The smaller the disc becomes, the more strain will be placed on the motor. Avoid damage to the tool by only using cutting discs that fall within approximately 25% of the original size.
Using a cup brush or wire wheel
Always check the no-load speed of the grinder does not exceed the maximum speed of the cup brush or wire wheel
Ensure no part of the cup brush or wire wheel can come into contact with the tool housing
- Run the grinder, with cup brush or wire wheel attached, for at least 30 seconds before use to check that the cup brush or wire wheel is secure and properly balanced
- When using a wire cup brush or wire wheel, avoid applying excess pressure. Using greater force will not make the cup brush or wire wheel more effective, but will bend the wires out of shape and damage the brush
Accessories
A full range of accessories including cutting guard and abrasive discs is available from your Silverline stockist
- Spare parts can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
