ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions,
including the following, should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, personal injury, and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool
off in an emergency, before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future
reference.
The charger has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the
power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for
the UK.
This tool’s charger is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a
power tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for
added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
The power supply for this product’s charger should be protected by a residual
current device (rated at 30mA or less). A residual current device reduces the
risk of electric shock.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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
that may ignite 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 the 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. The 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. The 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 masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, 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 a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, 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. The 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 at which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn 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 too l. 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 the 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.
ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sanding, or cut-off tool. 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 wire brushing, or 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 that 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 the spindle of the 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 inspects the accessory
such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear, or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If a 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 the application, use a
face shield, safety goggles, or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear a dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves, and a workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The 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 away
and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation.
j) Hold 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 shock the operator.
k) 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.
l) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
m) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could
ignite these materials.
o) 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 toward or away from the operator, depending on the 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 and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use an 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. The accessory may
kick back over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if
kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in a 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.
Additional safety instructions 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 and accidental contact with the wheel.
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. A wheel intended
for a larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool
and may burst.
Additional safety instructions 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 the 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 e 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 workpiec e. Let the wheel
reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up,
or kick back 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 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.
Additional safety instructions 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.
We highly recommend that when using abrasive cutting wheels, that a cutting
guard should be fitted to your angle grinder. These cutting guards are
available as spare parts and can be ordered through the special orders desk
