NOISE INFORMATION

VIBRATION INFORMATION

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder 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.

a) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, 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.

b) Do not use accessories which 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.

c) 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.

d) 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.

e) 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 cause loss of control.

f) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. If 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.

g) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and 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.

h) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

i) 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 could give the operator an electric shock.

j) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

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.

p) Your hand must hold on the handle when you are working. Always use the auxiliary handles supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

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 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 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. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in 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.

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 centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.

c) 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 operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.

d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

e) 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.

f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

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 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 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 workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter 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 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.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed. To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Help to minimize your vibration exposure risk:

• Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).

• If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.

• Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10°C or less.

• Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.

Double insulation.

Warning.

Wear ear protection.

Wear eye protection.

Wear dust mask.

Wear protective gloves.

Make sure the tool is unplugged prior to changing accessories.

Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist.

The machine is intended for cutting, roughing and brushing metal and stone materials without using water. For cutting metal, a special protection guard for cutting (accessory) must be used.

NOTE: Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug. For work with grinding or cutting discs, the protection guard must be mounted.

Assembling Auxiliary Handle (See Fig. A):

Screw the auxiliary handle into one of the threaded holes on the machine head.

Assembling Grinding/Cutting Disc (See Fig. B1, B2, B3):

1. Mount the inner flange (5) onto the spindle.

2. Place the grinding/cutting disc (11) on the inner flange.

3. Screw on the outer flange (6). The raised side of the outer flange must face towards the grinding disc.

4. Press the spindle lock button (1) and tighten the outer flange with the spanner (4).

Adjusting Wheel Guard (See Fig. C):

The coded projection on the wheel guard (10) ensures that only a guard that fits the machine type can be mounted.

1. Open the clamping lever (9).

2. Place the wheel guard (10) with coded projection into the coded groove on the spindle of the machine head and rotate to the required position (working position).

3. To fasten the wheel guard (10), close the clamping lever (9).

The closed side of the wheel guard (10) must always point to the operator.

Plugging in the Power (See Fig. D):

Connect the plug to the power socket.

Using On/Off Switch (See Fig. E):

Slide the switch forward to turn the tool ON. To turn it OFF, release the switch.

Hand Grip Areas (See Fig. F):

Always hold the tool firmly with both hands using the main handle and the auxiliary handle.

Rough Grinding (WARNING! Never use a cutting disc for roughing.):

Hold the tool at an angle of 15°-30° to the workpiece.

Cutting (See Fig. G):

When cutting, use a cutting guard (sold separately). Guide the tool evenly in the direction of the cut.

1. Always start at no load to achieve maximum speed then start working.

2. Do not force the disc to work faster, reducing the Disc’s moving speed means longer working time.

3. Always work with a 15-30 angle between disc and workpiece. Larger angles will cut ridges into the workpiece and affect the surface finish. Move the angle grinder across and back and forth over the workpiece.

4. When using a cutting disc never change the cutting angle otherwise you will stall the disc and angle grinder motor or break the disc. When cutting, only cut in the opposite direction to the disc rotation. If you cut in the same direction as the disc rotation the disc may push itself out of the cut slot.

5. When cutting very hard material best results can be achieved with a diamond disc.

6. When using a diamond disc it will become very hot. If this happens you will see a full ring of sparks around the rotating disc. Stop cutting and allow to cool at no load speed for 2-3 minutes.

7. Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Although your new angle grinder is really very simple to operate, if you do experience problems, please check the following:

1. If your grinder will not operate check the power at the main plug.

2. If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates, check that outer flange is tight; check that the wheel is correctly located on the flange plate.

3. If there is any evidence that the wheel is damaged do not use as the damaged wheel may disintegrate, remove it and replace with a new wheel. Dispose of old wheels sensibly.

4. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy, the wheel will soon become clogged and will not grind effectively.

Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.

If you need to replace the fitted plug then follow the instructions below.

IMPORTANT
