While operating
Keep third parties away from the power tool's
area of operation. Never work while animals or
people, especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to
300 lux light), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and
clothing. Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing
protection, anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing,
gloves and helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Wear a heat-resistant protective apron if particles that
may be hot or glowing are projected.
Anyone coming into the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece may be
projected and cause injury.
Clothing worn during the machine operation must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler
suit. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Never use the power tool if the safety devices are
missing, inhibited, damaged or worn out;
The following precautions and procedures should also
be followed to avoid accidents:
▪ The rotary accessories speed of the angle grinder
must be at least equal to the maximum speed stated
in the technical specifications;
▪ When using the angle grinder, place yourself in a
stable position and always keep your balance. Hold
the power tool firmly to ensure continuous operation
and withstand unexpected situations, such as
kickback;

▪ The kickback is a sudden reaction that happens when
the power tool is switched on and the rotary
accessory gets jammed. The rotating accessory
kickback forces the power tool to rotate in the
opposite direction to the rotation of the accessory;
▪ The kickback occurs due to an incorrect use of the
power tool or due to an improper working procedure
which can cause serious injuries to the user. Loss of
control can result in serious injury. To avoid the
kickback, the following precautions must be
considered:
- Always use the auxiliary handle for maximum
control over kickback or torque during acceleration
and start-up of the angle grinder;
- Place and keep the rotating accessory in the right
position and well tightened;
- Do not place yourself in the area where the power
tool will move, in case of a kickback;
▪ Never place your hands near the rotating accessory.
Keep your hands away from the rotating accessories;
▪ When the rotating accessory gets stuck, switch off
the power tool. If you lose the control, disconnect the
power cord;
▪ To avoid displacements or projections use a fixing
device or a bench vice to ensure a safe performance;
Place/maintain the workpiece in a correct and stable
position;
▪ 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;
▪ Always install the supplied disc guard. If necessary,
the disc guard should be replaced by one with a
material of equal strength and with a protection
angle of no more than 180°;
