Special Safety Instructions
General Safety Recommendations for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or
Abrasive Cutting
Use
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush 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 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 which are not specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Even if an accessory can be attached to your power
tool, this does not ensure 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 external diameter and 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 threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread.
For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit
the locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may result in a loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged accessories. Inspect accessories such as grinding discs
before each use for chips and cracks and inspect backing pads for cracks, tear
or excess wear and wire brushes 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 the
maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Use a face shield, safety goggles or
safety goggles depending on the application. If necessary, wear a dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and a workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. Eye protection must be capable of stopping
flying debris generated by various operations. A dust mask or respirator must
be capable of filtering 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 of a
workpiece or broken accessory may fly off and result in injury beyond the
immediate area of operation.
j) Only hold the cordless tool by its insulated grip areas while completing
work where the tool may come into contact with hidden power lines or its own
power cable. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the rotating accessory. If you lose control, the
cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
rotating accessory.
I) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The rotating accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out
of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with a rotating accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the
dust inside the housing and an excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p) 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 sanding wheel, backing
pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes the rotating
accessory to stall rapidly, This in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to
be forced in the opposite direction from which the accessory is rotating at
the pinched or snagged point. For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel entering the pinch point can
dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick
out. The abrasive wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction the disc is moving at the pinch point. 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
if suitable precautionary measures are taken as described below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm so
that you can resist kickback forces. Always use the additional handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kickback or a 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 a rotating accessory. The accessory may kickback
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 the direction opposite to
the grinding wheel’s movement at the pinch or snag point.
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 can cause you to lose control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Cut-Off Grinding
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 grinding surface of the center depressed wheels must be mounted below
the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted grinding wheel that projects
through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately guarded.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety so that the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and
accidental contact with the wheel and sparks which could ignite clothing.
d) Grinding media must be used only for recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of the cutting disc. Cutting discs are intended for
grinding using the edge of the disc. Applying force to the sides of these
discs may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are the correct size and shape for
your selected grinding wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the grinding wheel,
reducing the possibility of breakage. Flanges for cutting discs may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn down grinding wheels from larger power tools. Grinding
wheels intended for larger power tools are not suitable for the higher speed
of a smaller tool and may break.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Cut-Off Grinding
a) Do not “jam” the cutting disc or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessively deep cut. Overstressing the cutting disc increases the
load and makes the disc more susceptible to twisting or bending in the cut and
more likely to kick back and break.
b) Do not position your body in line with or behind the rotating cutting disc.
When the cutting disc is moving away from your body at the point of operation,
any kickback can propel the spinning disc and the power tool directly towards
you.
c) If the cutting disc is stuck or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the disc
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cutting disc from the
cut while the disc is in motion; otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause if a disc becomes stuck.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the cutting disc
reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up
or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of cutting
disc pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of the cut
and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making “pocket cuts” into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding cutting disc may cause kickback when cutting gas
or water pipes, electrical wiring or other objects.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations
a) Do not use excessively large sanding disc paper. Follow the manufacturers recommendations when selecting sandpaper. Larger sandpaper that extends beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging or kickback, or may cause the disc to tear off.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary
operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the
brush. Wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow the wire wheel or
brush to come into contact with the guard. The wire wheel or brush may expand
in diameter due to the work load and centrifugal forces.
Additional Safety Instructions
WARNING – Always wear protective goggles.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the grinding
media and if required. Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect discs from grease or impact! Grinding wheels must be
stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Never use cut-off wheels for roughing work! Do not apply pressure to the side
of cut-off wheels. The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be sufficiently supported.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the end of the spindle may not
touch the base of the hole on the sanding tool. Make sure that the thread in
the accessory is long enough to accommodate the full length of the spindle.
The thread in the accessory must match the thread on the spindle. See page 3
and the 12. Technical Specifications chapter for more information on the
spindle length and thread.
It is recommended to use a stationary extraction system and to place a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) downstream. If the angle grinder is shut down
via the GFCI, it must be checked and cleaned. See the 8. Cleaning chapter for
more information on cleaning the motor.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical cables and load-bearing walls
(building structure). Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine. A damaged or cracked
additional handle must be replaced. Never operate the machine with a defective
additional handle. A damaged or cracked safety guard must be replaced. Never
operate a machine with a defective safety guard.
This power tool is not suitable for polishing work. Improper use of the
machine will void the warranty! The motor may overheat and damage the electric
power tool. We recommend using our angle polisher for polishing work.
Secure small workpieces, for example by clamping them in a vice.
Reducing dust exposure
WARNING – Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such as some timber types (like
oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic
reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the
surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter
the environment in an uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures
- do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush protective gear.

Use
Switching on and off
Always guide the machine with both hands.
Switch on first, then guide the accessory towards the workpiece.
The machine must not be allowed to draw in additional dust and shavings. When switching the machine on and off and keep it away from dust deposits. After switching off the machine, only set it down when the motor has come to a standstill.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off when the plug is removed from the mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine continues running if it is forced out of your hands. Therefore, always hold the machine with both hands using the handles provided, stand securely and concentrate.
Machines with a slide switch
Switching on: push the slide switch (4) forwards. For continuous operation,
tilt it downwards until it engages.
Switching off: press the rear end of the slide switch (4) and release it.
Working directions
Grinding and sanding operations:
Press down the machine evenly on the surface and move it back and forth so
that the surface of the workpiece does not become too hot.
Rough grinding: position the machine at an angle of 30° – 40° for the best
working results.
Cut-off grinding
Always work against the run of the disc (see illustration). Otherwise the machine may kick back from the cut in an out of control manner. Guide the machine evenly at a speed suitable for the material being processed. Do not tilt, apply excessive force or sway from side to side.
Wire brushing:
Press down the machine evenly.
Cleaning
Particles may become deposited inside the power tool during operation. This
impairs the cooling of the power tool. Conductive build-up can impair the
protective insulation of the power tool and create an electrical hazard.
