DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS

SPECIFIC REGULATIONS REGARDING SAFE USE OF ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR GRINDING, PAPER SANDING, WORKING WITH WIRE BRUSHES AND USE OF CUTTING WHEELS

• This tool can be used as a regular grinder, for use with sanding paper, wire brushes and cutting wheels. Follow all safety guidelines, instructions, descriptions and data supplied with the device. Failure to observe below guidelines may create risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious body injury.

• Do not use this tool for polishing. Using the device for purposes other than it is designed for may create risks and cause body injuries.

• Do not use equipment not designed and not recommended by the manufacturer for use with this power tool. Possibility of equipment installation in the device alone does not guarantee safe use.

• Maximum permissible rotary speed of a working tool must not be lower than maximum rotary speed specified for the device. Working tool that exceeds permissible rotary speed may crack and part of it may splinter.

• Outer diameter and thickness of working tool must match to the device dimensions. Working tools with incorrect dimensions may be insufficiently shielded or controlled.

• Working tools with threaded insert must exactly match to spindle thread. In case of working tools fixed with collar, the working tool hole diameter must match to the collar diameter. Working tools that do not allow for precise attachment onto the device rotate unevenly, vibrate very hardly and can lead to loss of control over the device.

• Do not use damaged working tools under any circumstances. Before each use check equipment, e.g. grinding wheels for dents and cracks, grinding plates for cracks, abrasion or heavy wear, wire brushes for loose or broken wires. In case of dropping the device or working tool, make sure it is not damaged or use other, undamaged tool. Once the working tool has been checked and installed, switch on the device and let it work for one minute at maximum speed. Make sure that operator and bystanders are beyond range of rotating tool. Damaged tools mostly break within such test time.

• Wear personal protection equipment. Depending on the task, use protective mask that shields whole face, eye protection or safety glasses. When necessary use anti- dust mask, hearing protectors, work gloves or special apron that protects against small particles of grinding and grinded material. Protect eyes against particles produced at work and floating in the air. Anti-dust mask and respiratory protection must filter dust produced at work. Prolonged exposure to noise may lead to hearing loss.

• Make sure to keep bystanders at safe distance outside of the range of the device. Each person close to operating device must use personal protection equipment. Splinters of processed piece or cracked working tool can chip off and cause damage also beyond direct range.

• When carrying out tasks when the tool can hit hidden electric wires, hold it only by insulated areas of the handle. Contact with power supply line may transfer voltage to metal parts of the device and cause electric shock.

• Never put away the device before working tool comes to complete stop. Rotating tool can contact the surface it is put on, which can cause loss of control over the device.

• Do not carry the device when it is rotating. Accidental contact of rotating working tool with clothes may cause catching and plunging of working tool into operator's body.

• Clean ventilation holes of the device on regular basis. Motor blower sucks dust into casing and large depositions of metal dust may cause electric hazards.

• Do not use the device in proximity of flammable materials. Sparks can cause ignition.

• Do not use tools that require liquid coolant. Use of water or other liquid coolants may cause electric shock.

KICKBACK AND RELEVANT SAFETY GUIDELINES

• Kick back is a sudden device reaction to locking or catching of rotating work tool, such as grinding wheel, disc, wire brush etc. Catching or locking causes sudden stopping of rotating work tool. Uncontrolled device is then pulled in direction opposite to work tool rotations. E.g. when grinding wheel jams itself in processed piece, wheel edge plunged in material may lock and cause breaking off or kick back. Grinding wheel movement (towards or away from operator) depends then on grinding wheel movement direction at the place it locked. Grinding wheel may also break.

• Kick back is a result of inappropriate use of the device. It can be avoided by observing below mentioned safety precautions.

• Hold the device firmly, position your hands and body to limit kick back effect. Always use additional handle when it is included in standard equipment, to have the greatest possible control of kick back forces and counter torque during start up. Tool operator can control sudden pulling and kick back effect by observing appropriate safety precautions.

• Always keep your hands away from rotating working tools. As a result of kick back, working tool may cause hand injury.

• Stay away from zone of device potential movement at kick back. At kick back, the device moves in direction opposite to movement of grinding wheel at the place of jamming.

• Be very careful when processing corners, sharp edges etc. Prevent rebound or jamming of work tools.

• Rotating work tool is more susceptible to jamming when processing corners, sharp edges or after rebound. It can cause loss of control or kick back.

• Do not use cutting blades for wood or toothed blades.

• Work tools of this type often cause kick back or loss of control over the device. DETAILED SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR GRINDING AND CUT

• Only use grinding wheels designed for the device and shield designed for that wheel. Grinding wheels that are not proper accessories for the device may not be sufficiently shielded and safe.

• Offset grinding wheels must be installed in such a way that the grinding surface does not protrude beyond edge of the safety guard. Unprofessionally installed grinding wheel that protrudes beyond edge of the safety guard cannot be shielded sufficiently.

• The guard must be securely attached to the device to guarantee the greatest safety possible. It must be positioned in such a way, that the grinding wheel section15 that is unguarded and facing the operator is reduced to minimum. The guard protects the operator from splinters, accidental contact with the grinding wheel, and sparks that otherwise could light up clothes.

• Use grinding wheels only for tasks they are designed for.

• For example, do not use side surface of a cutting wheel for grinding. Grinding wheels for cutting are designed to remove material with wheel edge. Side forces applied to the wheel may cause it to crack.

• Always use undamaged fixing flanges with size matching to the grinding wheel. Proper flanges support grinding wheel and reduce risk of breaking. Grinding wheels for cutting use flanges that may be different from flanges designed for other types of grinding wheels.

• Do not use worn out grinding wheels from bigger devices. Grinding wheels for bigger devices are not designed for higher rotational speed, which is specific for smaller devices, and therefore they may break.

ADDITIONAL DETAILED SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR CUTTING

WITH A GRINDING WHEEL

• Avoid jamming of cutting wheel and excessive pressure. Do not make too deep cuts. Overloading the cutting wheel increases its load and risk of jamming or locking, and in consequence kick back or wheel breaking.

• Avoid areas in front and behind rotating cutting wheel. In the event of kick back, cutting wheel advance in work piece away from you may cause bouncing of the device with rotating wheel towards your hand.

• In the event of jamming of cutting wheel or having a break in work, switch off the device and wait until the wheel comes to complete stop. Never attempt to remove rotating wheel from cut material, as this may cause kick back. Find and remove cause of jamming.

• Do not switch on the device back, when it is still in processed material. Before cutting again, cutting wheel should reach its full rotational speed. Otherwise the cutting wheel may catch material, bounce out of work piece or cause kick back.

• Support sheets and large objects before processing to minimise risk of kick back caused by jammed blade. Large objects can bend under own weight. Support work piece on both sides, at cutting line and near edge. Be careful when cutting holes in walls and operating in other areas with reduced visibility. Wheel plunging into material may cause kick back after hitting gas lines, water pipes, electric wires and other objects.

DETAILED SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR PAPER SANDING

• Do not use too large sheets of abrasive paper. When choosing size of abrasive paper follow manufacturer instructions. Abrasive paper that protrudes beyond sanding pad may cause injuries, and also lead to locking or tearing abrasive paper or kick back.

DETAILED SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR WIRE BRUSHING

• Remember that brush loses pieces of wire even during normal use. Do not overload wires by excessive pressure. Flying pieces of wire can easily penetrate through thin clothes and/or skin.

• Whenever use of guard is recommended, avoid contact of brush and guard. Diameter of wheel and cup brushes may increase at pressure and centrifugal forces.

• Always wear protective glasses when using wire brushes.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

• Remove the battery from the device before any equipment installation.

• Check grinding tools before use. Grinding tool must be installed properly and must be free to rotate. To check the device, start it, keep in safe position and let it run with no load for at least one minute. Do not use damaged or vibrating grinding tools. Grinding tools must be round. Damaged grinding tools can break and cause injuries.

• After grinding tool installation, and before starting the grinder, make sure the grinding tool is properly xed, it is free to rotate and does not come in contact with the shield.

• Spindle lock button can be activated only when the grinder spindle is not moving.

• When using tools designed for grinding wheels with threaded hole, make sure that the length of the wheel thread matches the length of the spindle thread.

• Secure processed material. Secured material in a xing tool or a vice is safer than holding it in hand.

• Fix processed material securely if its own weight does not guarantee stable position.

• Do not touch cutting and grinding wheels before they cool down.

• Do not apply side force on grinding or cutting wheel. Do not cut processed material thicker than maximum cutting depth of cutting wheel.

• When a quick release ange is used, make sure that inner ange seated on the spindle is equipped with rubber O-ring and this ring is not damaged. Also surfaces of the outer ange and the inner ange must be clean.

• Use quick release ange only with cutting and grinding wheels. Use only anges that are free from defects, that operate correctly.

CONSTRUCTION AND USE

Angle grinder is a hand held, battery powered tool. Drive consists of a DC commutator motor with permanent magnets, whose rotational speed is transferred with angle gear transmission. It can be used for grinding and cutting. This type of power tool is widely used for removal of burrs from metal surfaces, weld surface treatment, cutting tubes and other metal objects etc. With the right equipment the angle grinder can be used not only for cutting or grinding, but also removal of rust, paint coats etc. Range of use covers all areas of repairs and construction in internal furnishing, adaptation of premises etc. The device is designed for dry operation only and cannot be used for polishing. Use the power tool in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions only. Inappropriate use.

• Do not process materials that contain asbestos. Asbestos is a carcinogen.

• Do not process materials that produce ammable or explosive dust. During operation power tool produces sparks that can ignite produced fumes.17 are flashing in different configurations, see description below.

• All diodes are flashing - battery is empty and requires charging.

• 2 diodes are flashing - the battery is partially discharged.

• 1 diode is flashing - the battery level is high. Once the battery is charged, the diode (11) on the charger lights green, and all battery level diodes (14) light continuously. After some time (approx. 15 s) battery level indication diodes (14) turn off. Do not charge the battery for more than 8 hours. Exceeding this time limit may cause damage to battery cells. The charger will not turn off automatically when the battery is full. Green diode on the charger will remain on. Battery level indication diodes turn off after some time. Disconnect power supply before removing the battery from the charger socket. Avoid consecutive short chargings. Do not charge the battery after short use of the tool. Significant decrease of the period between chargings indicates the battery is worn out up and should be replaced. Batteries heat up when charging. Do not operate just after charging – wait for the battery to cool down to room temperature. It will prevent battery damage.

INSTALLATION OF THE ANGLE GRINDER ON AN ANGLE GRINDER SUPPORT It is possible to use the angle grinder in special support for angle grinders. The angle grinder must be correctly xed in accordance with installation procedure provided by the support manufacturer. OPERATION / SETTINGS Check the grinding wheel condition before using the grinder. Do not use wheels with dents, cracks or other damages. Replace worn out wheel or brush with a new one before operation. After work is nished always switch the grinder o and wait until the work tool comes to complete stop. Only then you can put the grinder away. Do not brake rotating grinding wheel by pushing it against processed material.

• Do not overload the grinder. The power tool weight creates enough pressure to work eciently. Overloading and too strong pressure may cause dangerous crack of the working tool.

• In case the grinder is dropped during operation, make sure to check and replace the working tool when necessary, if it is found damaged or deformed.

• Never hit processed material with working tool.

• Avoid knocking o and tearing o material with the wheel, especially when processing knives, sharp edges etc., as this can cause loss of control over the power tool and kick back.

• Never use wood cutting blades designed for circular sawing machines. Use of such blades often results in the power tool kickback, loss of control and may cause operator body injury.

SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF

Hold the grinder with both hands when starting and during operation. The grinder is equipped with the switch, which protects against accidental starting.

• Releasing the switch button (3) will stop the grinder. Wait a while after starting the grinder until the wheel reaches its top speed; only then you can proceed with your work. When working, do not use the switch of the grinder to switch it on or o. Switch button may only be used when the grinder is away from the processed material. CUTTING

• Use the angle grinder to make cuts in straight line only.

• Do not cut material while holding it in hand.

• Support large pieces and make sure that points of support are located near the cutting line and near end edges of the material. Stable material does not tend to shift during cutting.

• Fix small pieces, e.g. in a vice or with clamps. Fix material so the cutting place is located near xing tool. This will ensure greater precision when cutting.

• Do not allow vibrations or cutting wheel bouncing on material, it can adversely aect cut quality and may cause crack in the cutting wheel.

• When cutting, do not apply side pressure on a cutting wheel.

• Use cutting wheel appropriate for the type of processed material.

• When cutting, it is recommended to match advance direction with direction of cutting wheel rotation. Cutting depth depends on the wheel diameter (fig. G).

• Use only wheels with rated diameters equal or smaller than recommended for the given grinder type.

• In case of deep cutting (e.g. sections, building blocks, bricks etc.), avoid contact of xing anges with processed material. Cutting wheels heat up to high temperatures during operation – do not touch them with unprotected parts of your body before they cool down. GRINDING With the angle grinder you can use grinding wheels, cup wheels, flap wheels, wheels with abrasive cloth, wire brushes, elastic discs for abrasive paper etc. Each type of wheel and processed material requires the right working technique and use of appropriate personal protection equipment. When grinding do not use wheels designed for cutting. Grinding wheels are designed to remove material with wheel edge.

• Do not use side surface for grinding. Optimum work angle for such wheels is 30° (g. H).

• Perform grinding tasks only with grinding wheels appropriate for processed material. When using ap wheels, abrasive cloth wheels and elastic discs with abrasive paper make sure to keep the right work angle (g. I).

• Do not use whole wheel surface for grinding or sanding.

• Such wheels are used for processing at surfaces. Wire brushes are mainly used for cleaning sections and hard to reach areas. Use them to remove rust, paint coatings, etc. (g. K). Use only working tools whose allowable rotary speed is higher or equal to maximum angle grinder speed with no load.
