Always wear an OSHA approved dusk mask or respirator when inside the work area. Replace the filter daily. NOTE: Not all dust masks offer protection from lead paint dust. Be sure to use the proper mask for the job.
Before connecting the tool to the power supply follow the safety instructions for installing the grinding or cutting wheels. Do not lock the wheels too tight
or cracks may occur.
Only use grinding or cutting wheels with the correct bore size for the spindle of the grinder.
Use standard parts. Do not use coolant or water and do not use as a fixed grinder.
Do not start the tool when the grinding or cutting wheels are touching the work area.
Keep the power cord well away from the cutting area during use. Always position the cord so that it will not be caught in the workpiece when the grinder is in use.
Always have the guards in place and properly positioned when using grind- ing wheels or wire cup brushes.
Secure the material being grinded. Never hold it in your hand or across your legs. Do not use your legs or feet to stabilize the workpiece. Unstable support can cause loss of control and could result in lacerations or injury.
Always make sure no one, including the user, is in line with the tool when starting the motor.
Always use both hands when operating the Angle Grinder.
Always hold this tool by the insulated gripping surfaces. If this tool should accidentally cut across its own cord or hidden wiring, all exposed metal parts will become live and could seriously shock the user.
When using the Angle Grinder, always maintain a firm grip on the tool. Keep your hands well away from the grinding wheel or brush. Never reach under- neath the Angle Grinder while the sanding disk is in motion.
When the Angle Grinder is in operation, keep hands away from the cutting or grinding area.
Do not run the Angle Grinder while carrying it at your side. A moving grind-
ing wheel or brush could cause lacerations or personal injury.
The disc will not stop immediately when the Angle Grinder is turned off.
Exercise caution.
Do not set the Angle Grinder down after use until the grinding or cutting wheels have come to a complete stop.
Keep the handle of the Angle Grinder dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
