GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WORK AREA

1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to loose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tools must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Any water entering

power tools will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. Do not abuse the electrical cable. Never use the cord for pulling or un-

plugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the

risk of electric shock.

4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable

for outdoor use. Using the correct cable reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when you

are operating a power tool. Do not operate a power tool when you are

tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

2. Wear personal protective equipment including eye protection. Safety

equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid shoes or hearing protection used

for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Use a face or dust

mask if operation is particularly dusty. Wear ear protectors/defenders as

the noise level of this machine can exceed 85dB (A). If working at floor

level, always wear knee pads.

3. Do not over-reach. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

4. Avoid accidental starting of the machine. Ensure the switch is in the off

position and the locking button disengaged before plugging the machine

in to the power supply. Carrying power tools around with your finger on

the trigger or plugging in power tools that are switched on invites

accidents.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400/E-mail:[email protected] or [email protected]

5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery which may get

caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long

hair. For best footing, wear rubber soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil,

scrap wood, etc.

6. Concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be

aware that accidents are caused by carelessness due to familiarity.

7. Switch the machine OFF immediately after the task is completed.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Do not force the machine. Use the correct power tool for your application.

It will do a better and safer job at the rate for which it was designed.

2. 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.

3. Disconnect the power tool from the power supply before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. These measures will

reduce the risk of the power tool starting accidentally.

4. Store power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools

are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain power tools in top condition. Keep tools/ machines clean for the

best and safest performance. Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, broken parts, or any 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.

6. Use recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories could be

hazardous.

7. Machine cleanliness. Do not allow the ventilation slots in the machine to

become blocked with dust.

8. Check the power tool for damage before using the machine. Any

damaged part should be inspected to ensure that it will operate properly

and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,

breakage of parts, mountings, and any other condition that may affect

the machine’s operation. Any damage should be properly repaired or the

part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine. Consult your local

dealer.

SERVICE

1. When necessary, have your power tools serviced or repaired by a

qualified person using identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before starting work, always consider that the use of hand held angle

grinders for grinding and cutting operations can present risks to the user.

Full observation of the safety instructions in this user guide is essential.

2. Always use the correct tool for the job. Always assess the job. You should

never force a small angle grinder to do the job of a heavy tool. Do not

use tools for purposes not intended.

3. Always allow the angle grinder to run up to full operating speed before

applying it to the job.

4. Stop the angle grinder at regular intervals for a short break to rest hands

and arms.

5. Never bump the angle grinder disc on the workpiece, or let the disc hit

any other objects while grinding.

6. Suitable eye and face protection must be worn when using an angle

grinder. Always wear a dust mask.

7. Never carry the tool by the mains lead or pull it to disconnect it from the

mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

8. Use clamps or vices to hold the workpiece. Failure to secure the

workpiece could result in serious injury.

9. Keep all handles and grips dry and clean.

10. If working outdoors, always use an approved cable extension suitable for

the power rating of this tool (see specifications), the conductor size should

also be at least the same size as that on the machine, or larger. When

using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely. We strongly

recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a

Residual Current Device (RCD).

11. Keep the mains cable well away from the disc and ensure an adequate

electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by

the length of the cable.

12. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or

replaced, by an authorised service centre, unless otherwise indicated in

this user guide. Have defective switches replaced by an authorised

service facility.

13. Ensure all wheels and discs are fitted in accordance with the instructions.

14. Ensure that sparks and particles resulting from grinding do not create a

hazard, Use screens where appropriate.

15. When switching off, the disc will continue to rotate for a few seconds after

the angle grinder is switched off. Always wait until the disc has completely

stopped before putting the angle grinder down.

16. Do not operate the spindle lock while the spindle is still spinning.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400/E-mail:[email protected] or [email protected]

17. Do not use the angle grinder without the disc guard. Make sure that the

guard is securely fitted before operating the angle grinder.

18. Always hold the angle grinder with both hands. Ensure that the workpiece

is kept at waist height where possible. Never use the angle grinder

between the legs whilst sitting on the floor.

19. For cutting, always feed the disc into the work so that an upcutting action

is achieved.

20. Do not allow bystanders (children or adults) to be nearby when using an

angle grinder.

DISC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Check the speed of the disc before fitting. Never use a disc with a rated

speed less than the no load speed of your angle grinder and only use

discs that comply with EN12413. See Specifications on page 16. Check

that the speed marked on the wheel dimensions is compatible with the

grinder. Check that discs are specifically for hand held angle grinder use.

2. Inspect the disc carefully before use. Never use a disc that is chipped,

cracked or damaged. Fragments from a broken or damaged disc can

cause serious injury. Ensure defective discs are destroyed and not used.

3. Bonded abrasive products are breakable and must therefore be handled

with utmost care. The use of damaged or improperly mounted or used

abrasive products is dangerous and can cause serious injuries.

4. Always refer to the label for specified usage and observe the safety

information. Do not use for purposes other than specified. Discs for wet

cutting applications must not be used with this angle grinder.

5. Always use the correct disc for it’s intended task. Using the incorrect disc

can cause serious injury.

6. Allow the disc and tool to do the work. Never force the disc onto the

workpiece as this could cause kickback and/or shatter the disc causing

serious injury. Kickback can occur in the event of a disc jam.

7. Do not use cutting discs for side grinding. Do not put sideways pressure on

cutting discs.

8. Do not use separate reducing bushes or adapters to adapt large hole

abrasive wheels. Do not force a disc onto a machine or alter the size of

the arbor hole.

9. Abrasive products shall be handled and transported with care. Abrasive

products shall be stored in such a manner that they are not subjected to

mechanical damage and harmful environmental influences. It is

recommended that discs are stored in the case provided to protect them

from damage and hazardous material.

Please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
