Additional Security Rules when working with Angle Grinder
General warning instructions for grinding
a) Angle grinders are designed for grinding with abrasive wheels, sandpaper, for works with wire brushes and as a detachable grinder. Observe all warnings and instructions that you get with a power tool. Failure to follow directions may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
b) Do not use tooling or accessories which are not provided by the manufacturer specifically for this type of tool and not recommended by the manufacturer. Only physical ability to attach a tooling on your power tool does not guarantee its safe and reliable use.
c) Allowable tooling speed must be at least the maximum number of rotation speed specified on the electric machine. Tooling, rotating with greater than acceptable speed, may tear off and cause serious injury.
d) The outer diameter and thickness of the tooling must match the size of your electric machine. Tooling of the wrong size cannot be safe to operate and properly monitored.
e) Grinding wheels, flanges, grinding plates or other accessories must fit tightly on the spindle of your electric machine. Tooling, mounted on the spindle with backlash, leads to strong vibration and loss of control over the machine.
f) Do not use damaged tooling to avoid serious injury. Each time before use check grinding wheels for chips and cracks, grinding plates for cracks, risks or heavy wear, wire brushes on loose or broken elements.
g) Use personal protective equipment. Depending on the work performed use a face shield, eye protection or protective glasses. If necessary, use a dust respirator, hearing protection, protective gloves or a special apron, which protects against sparks, abrasive particles and material particles.
h) Ensure that unauthorized persons are at a safe distance from the work area. Shards of parts or tooling, in case of its rupture, can fly to the side and cause injury even at a considerable distance from the work site.
i) Hold the electric machine only on the insulated surface of the handles if you are doing work, in which the equipment can get on the hidden wiring or own power cord. Contact with a current-carrying wire puts under voltage all metal parts of the electric tool and leads to electric shock.
j) Keep the power cord away from the rotating tooling. If you lose control of your electric machine, the power cord may be cut or grabbed by the rotating tooling.
k) Never let an electric machine out of your hands, until the tooling stops completely. Rotating tooling can catch on supporting surface or other object and, as a result, you may lose control of the electric machine.
l) Regularly clean the vents of the electric machine. The engine fan draws dust into the case and large amounts of metallic dust can cause the tool to fail.
m) Do not use accessories that require the use of coolants. The use of water or other coolants can cause damage to the electric machine and electric shock.
n) Hold the electric machine tight and take a position in which you can counteract the reverse forces. Always use the extra handle to best counteract reverse forces or the reactionary moment of recruitment.
o) Be especially careful on corners, sharp edges, etc. Prevent a tooling bounce from the workpiece and its jamming. A possible rebound and jamming of the tooling causes loss of control or kickback.
p) When processing stone, use dust suction. The vacuum cleaner must be adapted to work with stone dust. Using these devices reduces the risk of exposure to dust.
Special warnings for grinding and cutting
a) Use abrasive tools recommended exclusively for your electric machine and protective covers provided for them. Abrasive tools not provided for this electric machine may not be safe enough.
b) The protective cover must be securely fastened to the electrical machine and configured to achieve the highest degree of security, it means, in the direction of the operator should be open as little as possible part of tooling. The protective cover should protect the operator from splintering and accidental contact with the tooling.
c) Abrasive tools may only be used for their intended purpose. Never sand by the side of the cutting disc. Cutting discs are designed for cutting material by edge. Other use of the circle may lead to its destruction and injury.
Additional special warnings instructions for grinding and cutting
a) Prevent blocking of the cutting wheel, do not exceed the pressing force. Do not perform too deep cuts. Overload of the cutting wheel increases the probable tilting or blocking and this increases the risk of a kickback or a tooling break.
b) Be especially careful when cutting with a cutting wheel in the direction away from you. In case of a back kick power tools with a spinning circle can bounce right at you.
c) When jamming the cutting wheel turn off the electric tool and hold it until the wheel stops. Never try to remove the rotating cutting wheel from the cut, as this may cause a back kick. Establish and eliminate the cause of jamming.
d) Do not turn the electric tool on again, if the tooling is in the workpiece. Let the cutting wheel develop the full speed, before you continue cutting carefully. Otherwise, the disc may jam which will cause a kickback.
e) Plates or large workpieces must lie securely on the support to reduce the risk of jamming of the cutting disc. Consider that large workpieces can sag under their own weight.
Special warnings when sanding
Do not use oversized sanding sheets, and follow the manufacturer’s specifications for sanding sheets. Sanding sheets protruding over the edge of the sanding pad can cause injury and blockage, tear or cause kickback.
Special warnings for working with wire brushes
a) Keep in mind that wire brushes lose elements during normal operation. Do not overload the brushes with excessive pressing force. Flying pieces of wire can easily penetrate clothing and injure the operator.
b) If for work it is recommended to use a wheel protective cover, then exclude the contact of the wire brush with the casing. Consider that dish and cup brushes can increase its diameter while rotation under the action of centrifugal forces.
Residual risks
In spite of the compliance with relevant security means instructions and use of safety devices, some residual risks cannot be completely eliminated. They are:

• Injuries caused by touching hot or rotating tool parts or workpiece.
• The possibility of ignition of some materials under the influence of sparks when grinding.
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of pinching fingers when changing working tool.
• Damage to health due to vibration appearing at.
• Damage to health due to inhalation of dust when working with stone, concrete and bricks.
• Damage to health due to long observation of sparks generated by grinding.

Description
Angle grinding machine represents rotary action machine consisting of electric drive and angular gear, on the output shaft of which the possibility of fixing the tooling is provided. The electric drive is the collector AC motor, housed in a plastic case.
The machine is designed to work with grinding or cutting wheels, as well as a stripping tool (metal/ nylon cup and disk brushes, petal grinding heads, etc.) with a working speed of at least 80 m/s.
The machine is equipped with a protective cover that protects the operator from sparks flying out of the treatment area of wear products of equipment and injuries at destruction of equipment. Work without the use of a protective casing is strictly prohibited for safety reasons.

OPERATION

ATTENTION! Always unplug the power cord from the power supply before preparing for the operation, setting up, and maintenance of the power tool.
Installing a protective cover
ATTENTION! The disc guard must be installed on the instrument in this way so that the closed side of the cover is always towards the operator.
To install the cover is necessary:

• move the cover locking lever 11 (pic. 1) to the side loosening the clamp
• install a protective cover on the seat of the gearbox cover so that no sparks are ejected towards the operator
• to rotate adjusting nut of the cover clamp to adjust the size of the clamp according to the size of the seat,
• so that to ensure the possibility of free rotation of the cover on the seat.
• tighten the protective cover with the locking lever. At the same time the cover must be securely fixed in its seat excluding its turn during work. Avoid applying excessive force to the lock lever, if necessary correct the tension with the adjusting nut of the yoke.

Installing the side handle
ATTENTION! You should always use the side handle supplied with the tool. Losing control of the tool while working may cause injury.
ATTENTION! Always check that the side handle is secure before work.
Screw the handle 9 into the threaded hole in the gear housing in a comfortable position.
Installation / removal of tooling
ATTENTION! Reinforced cutting and grinding discs must be used only if they are designed for angle grinders and calculated for a linear cutting speed of at least 80 m / s.
At installation / removal of the tooling a spindle lock is carried out by the key 2 located on the gearbox housing. The spindle can also be locked with a wrench S17. Fastening the tooling onto the spindle is carried out with the help of a flange and a nut tightened with a special key supplied in the set. The tooling with a threaded bore 14 fastens directly onto the threaded end of the spindle.
ATTENTION! In order to avoid machine breakdown and injury it is not allowed to press the lock button of the spindle 2 during the operation of the grinding machine, as well as till the full stop the spindle after turning off the engine.
Main connection
ATTENTION! Power tools should only be connected to single-phase AC power, the voltage of which corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate located on the tool housing. If the rating plate indicates a voltage of 230V, then the power tool can also be switched on to a main with a voltage of 220 V.
When working outdoors use industrial extension cords intended for outdoor use. Do not use homemade extensions. When working outdoors connect power tools to the power circuit equipped with a differential automatic with a response current of not more than 30 , this will reduce the risk of electric shock. When connecting ensure that the insulation of the electrical cable and the power plug of the machine is intact. Make sure the machine’s power switch is in the «off» position. This power tool can be connected to power outlets that do not have a protective ground, since it has double insulation (protection class II).
Spindle speed adjustment (for model AG-125-1100A)
Depending on the type of tooling used, the type of material being processed and the nature of processing you can choose the optimal spindle speed of the machine. The selection is made using the controller 5 (pic. 1). The numbers on the regulator ring correspond to the ring positions and do not indicate a specific speed, expressed in rotations per minute. A higher number corresponds to a higher spindle speed and tooling.
ATTENTION! The machine is not intended for polishing work.
ATTENTION! Do not overload the machine operating at reduced speeds. When the engine rotor speed decreases, the cooling of the machine deteriorates.
Before using you must:

• inspect and verify its completeness and no external damage;
• make sure the power switch works correctly;
• after transportation in winter conditions before turning on, leave at room temperature until complete drying of water condensate.

Before getting started, you must:

• set the handles and protective cover in a convenient for work position;
• check the tightness of the threaded connection of fixing the tooling;
• turn the spindle with a tooling by hand: his move must be free without jams;
• try the machine at idle (also after replacing the grinding wheel);
• make sure that the power switch is in the «off» position, then connect the machine to the mains.

To turn on the machine, press the switch key 8 (Fig. 1) when the button 7 (Fig. 1) is pressed.
To turn off the machine, release the key 8 (Fig. 1).
ATTENTION! The protective cover should always be installed during operation. Always use safety glasses.
While working:

• after turning on the engine, let the machine develop the set speed of the tooling and only after that you enter the tooling and the workpiece into contact.
• always use the machine only for the types of work for which it is intended. When processing wood, use only the designated tooling, safety of use of which on an angle grinder, no doubt.

ATTENTION! Never use saw blades designed for circular saws on angle grinders. It is extremely dangerous!

• do not allow mechanical damage, shock, falling of the tool on hard surfaces, etc.;
• protect the machine from exposure to intense heat sources or chemically active substances, as well as from the ingress of liquids and foreign solid objects inside the machine;
• ensure effective removal of processing products from the cutting zone;
• do not block or obstruct the ventilation openings in the machine case;
• turn the machine off using the power switch before connecting / disconnecting power;
• monitor the condition of the tooling and the heating of the electric motor;
• do not allow pressing the spindle lock button 2 during operation ­ this will instantly lead to machine breakdown and operator’s injury.

At the end of the work:

• disconnect the tool from the mains, making sure the switch is in the «off»;
• clean the Angle Grinder and accessories from dirt.

Recommendations for use
Before you start processing a part, you must secure it, if it has a light weight. For maximum grinding performance angle formed by the abrasive wheel and the surface to be treated should be between 30 ­ 40 degrees. Move the machine smoothly along the surface to be treated. Thus, the overheat and change of color of the processed surface is excluded, processing quality is improved.
ATTENTION! Never use a cutting wheel for grinding.
When cutting with a cutting wheel do not put pressure on the handles of a power tool, tilt power tool. Avoid vibration and tilting disc. It is necessary to work carefully, taking into account the characteristics of the material being processed. It is very important to consider the direction of movement of the power tool. Power tools must be moved against the rotation of the disc; otherwise, there is a risk of losing control of the power tool. When cutting profiles and rectangular pipes it is recommended to start cutting from the narrower end. Do not overheat the exterior of the machine during prolonged use. If overheated, stop working, let the machine work without load for 1 … 2 minutes to cool the engine, turn off the engine and take a break to cool down the gear housing.
Do not allow the machine to work when there is unwanted or unusual noise in the engine or mechanism. If noise appears, turn off the machine and contact an authorized service.
