Safety

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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 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, clothing and gloves 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.

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 the battery pack 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. 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.

5) Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

6) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Special safety warnings applicable to grinding, sanding, wire brushing or cutting

a) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
b) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
c) This power tool is intended for grinding, dressing, wire brushing and cutting. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this tool. Neglecting to follow all of the instructions listed below can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
d) Polishing is not recommended with this power tool. The use of this power tool to perform tasks for which the tool was not intended, can lead to danger and personal injury.
e) Do not use accessories which are not intended to be used with this tool and which are not recommended by the manufacturer. Even if the accessory can be attached to your power tool, there is no guarantee that it can be used safely.
f) The accessory's rated speed must at least correspond to the power tool's maximum rated speed. Accessories which rotate faster than their rated speed can break and shatter.
g) The accessory's outer diameter and size must fall within the rated capacity of your power tool.
h) The spindle size of the wheels, flanges, and backing plates or other accessories must fit the spindle on your power tool correctly. Ill-fitting/incorrectly sized accessories will end up out of balance, vibrate violently, and may lead to loss of control.

i) Do not use damaged accessories. Inspect the accessory and make sure there are no splits or cracks in the grinding wheels; cracks or wear and tear on the backing plates, or loose or torn bristles on the steel brush wheels.
If you drop your power tool or accessory, check for damage. If the accessory is damaged, use a new/undamaged accessory. After inspecting the tool and attaching an accessory, keep yourself and others outside of the power tool's danger zone and let it run at full speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break during this test period.
j) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on how you use the machine; use a visor/face protection or safety glasses. If necessary use a mask, ear protection, gloves, and apron/work clothing to protect you from small shards of metal or splinters from the work object. The eye protection you use must be able to protect against flying debris produced in different working positions. The breathing protection should be able to filter any particles produced by the work. Prolonged exposure to high levels of noise can result in hearing damage.
k) Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Everyone who visits the place of work must wear personal protective equipment. Debris from the workpiece or from a damaged accessory can fly off and injury people outside of the immediate work area.
I) Position the mains lead well away from the rotating accessory. If you lose control, the lead can be sliced through or become entangled and pull your hand or arm into the rotating accessory.
m) Never put the power tool down before the accessory has completely stopped rotating. The rotating accessory can become stuck in the material resulting in loss of control.
n) Do not run the power tool when you are carrying it. Unintentional contact with the rotating accessory can cause clothing to become caught and pull the tool towards your body.
o) Regularly clean the motor's ventilation ports. The motor's fan pulls in dust, which gets inside the outer casing and a build up of this collected metal dust can lead to electrical dangers.
p) Do not use the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks can easily ignite flammable material.
q) Do not use accessories which require liquid coolants. The use of water or other liquid coolants can result in electric shock or electrocution.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a wedged or stuck wheel, backing plate, wire brush, or some other accessory. A jammed or stuck rotating accessory results in the power tool thrusting violently in the opposite direction of the accessory's rotation at the point of binding.

For example, if a grinding disc gets stuck or is jammed into the workpiece, the edge of the disc can grab onto the workpiece and either dig itself down deeper or kick upwards. The grinding wheel is either thrown towards or away from the user depending on the rotation of the grinding wheel. The grinding wheel can also break under these circumstances.

Kickbacks are the result of the power tool being used in an incorrect manner, on incorrect objects, or under incorrect conditions and can be avoided by observing the following precautions.

a) Hold the power tool steady and position your arms and body so that you can adequately handle any kickback. Always use the auxiliary (side) handle if there is one for maximum control during kickback and to be able to control the torque "kick" produced by turning the angle grinder on. Kickbacks or reactions to torque can be controlled by the user if the necessary safety precautions are followed.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory can be thrown back onto your hand.
c) Do not stand in the area in which the power tool could possibly end up if it were to kick back. Kickback will propel the tool in the opposite direction of the grinding wheel's rotation at the point of snagging.
d) Be extra careful when working on corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and getting the accessory stuck. Corners, sharp edges, and bouncing have a tendency to get the rotating accessory stuck and lead to loss of control of the tool.
e) Never fit a circular saw wood cutting blade or other toothed saw blade. Such blades frequently lead to kickbacks and loss of control.

Specific safety precautions for grinding and cutting with a cutting wheel

a) Only use those types of disc/wheel which are recommended for the power tool and a special shatter guard plate designed for the selected cutting wheel. Wheels which are not designed for use with the power tool cannot be properly guarded and can be dangerous.
b) The shatter guard must be fitted to the power tool correctly and adjusted to provide maximum safety so that the user is exposed to as little of the disc/wheel as possible. The shatter guard helps to protect the user from shards of shattered wheel and unintentional contact with the wheel.
c) The wheels/discs must only be used for the recommended work task. For example: Do not grind with the side of a cutting wheel. Cutting wheels are intended for cutting using the edge. If force is exerted on the face, they can break.

d) Always use undamaged flanges of a correct size and shape for the wheel you have selected. Correct flanges support the wheel and minimize the risk of it breaking. Flanges for cutting wheels can be different from those which are used for grinding wheels.
e) Never use worn-down wheels designed for use with a larger power tool. Wheels intended for larger power tools do not have the same speed rating as those intended for use with smaller tools and can therefore shatter.

Additional safety precautions for cutting with a cutting wheel

a) Do not force the cutting wheel or apply too much pressure. Do not try to cut too deeply. Overloading the wheel increases the pressure and the likelihood of the wheel twisting or getting stuck in the cut and increases the chances of kickback or the wheel breaking.
b) Never stand in line with or behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel rotates away from you during use, a kickback can force the rotating wheel and the power tool in the opposite direction, i.e. towards you.
c) When the wheel gets stuck or if you for some reason want to stop cutting, turn off the power tool and hold it still until the wheel has stopped completely. Never attempt to remove the cutting wheel from the cut while the wheel is moving because it can result in a kickback. Investigate and take the necessary measures to minimize the risk of the wheel binding.
d) After stopping, do not resume cutting with the wheel in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed first and then carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel can bind, walk up out of the cut or kickback, if cutting is restarted with the wheel in the workpiece.
e) Support large planks or other large workpieces in order to minimize the risk of getting stuck or kickback. Large boards tend to sag under their own weight. Boards should be supported from underneath, both near the cutting line and near the edges of the board on both sides of the cutting wheel.
f) Be especially careful when plunge sawing into walls or objects where it is not possible to see what one is sawing. The protruding wheel can cut into gas or water pipes, electric cables, or other objects which can cause kickback.

Specific safety precautions for sanding

a) Do not use sanding discs which are too large. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations when selecting sanding discs. Large sanding discs that protrude further than the backing pad are liable to wear out the power tool and can result in the disc getting stuck, breaking, or kickback.

Specific safety precautions for wire brushing

a) Remember that bristles can dislodge from the wire brush even during normal use. Do not force the wire brush wheel by applying too much pressure. Loose wires from the brush can easily penetrate skin or thin clothing.
b) If a shatter guard is recommended when wire brushing, make sure that the brush wheel does not touch the shatter guard. The bristles of wire cup brushes/wire brush wheels can expand under load or from the centrifugal force so a gap between the shatter guard and the wheel is essential.

Overload protection and other safety features

The battery has a number of safety features to prevent damage to the angle grinder and battery during use.

• During short high-load situations the overload protection may turn the angle grinder off. This protection resets automatically. Release the trigger, wait a few seconds, ensure that there is no load and then restart the angle grinder. The angle grinder should now function normally again.
• If subjected to a high-load for an extended period the overheating protection may turn the angle grinder off. This feature is self-resetting but the angle grinder cannot be restarted until it has returned to normal operating temperature. Let the angle grinder/battery cool properly before trying to start working again. Adverse temperatures can occur in direct sunlight and should therefore be avoided.
• The battery has a deep discharge undervoltage protection device which operates when the battery becomes discharged. The undervoltage protection device turns the angle grinder off automatically and the battery then needs to be recharged.

Care, maintenance and storage

Always remove the battery from the angle grinder before performing any adjustment, service or maintenance.

Vibration

• The measurement of the vibration emission level (triaxial vector sum) and the noise level values declared in this instruction manual have been carried out in accordance with a standardised test method described in EN 60745 and can be used for comparing one power tool with another.
• The measurement method may also be used for a preliminary assessment of vibration exposure.
• The declared vibration emission level applies when the power tool is used in accordance with this instruction manual. If however, the power tool is used for other purposes and with other accessories or has not been properly maintained, the vibration emission level could increase significantly over the total working period.
• For an exact assessment of the vibration exposure, the times when the tool is switched off or running idle should also be taken into account. This significantly reduces the vibration exposure over the total working period. Decide upon safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration during all types of use.
