Safety

Warning:

Using any tool can be dangerous. Always select the right tool for the job.

Caution:

The tool can get hot after use. Should be used by a competent person. If in doubt consult an electrician.

Cutting/Grinding:

Before attempting to cut/grind any object, first familiarize yourself with the correct procedures and techniques of cutting/grinding as well as the

different cutting discs, grinding discs and flap discs.

3.1

Work area safety

•

Keep working area clean and well lit, if not working outside in the open.

•

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases or dust work conditions. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes or cause

injuries or damage to the surrounding person or object

•

Keep bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can lead to potential loss of control.

3.2

Electrical Safety

•

Do not modify the power tool plugin any way nor use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Original plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

•

Avoid contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, and refrigerators, whilst

operating the power tool

•

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water is a conductor of electricity which increases the risk of

electric shock.

•

Do not use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool in any way. Avoid the cord from making

contact with heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

•

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

•

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

RCDs reduces the risk of electric shock.

•

Do not use the power tool if the switch is faulty. Using any power tool that cannot be controlled with

a switch is dangerous and must be repaired immediately.

•

When using an extension cord, an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and

overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each extension contains at

least the minimum wire size. If in doubt, use equal to that of the machine cord.

*Explanation of Duty Cycle (S1)

Continuous duty

The motor works at a constant load for enough time to reach temperature equilibrium

**Explanation of Protection Class

(II)

Class II

A Class II or double insulated electrical appliance has been designed insuch a way that it does not require a

safety connection to electrical earth (ground).

The basic requirement is that no single failure can result in dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that it might

cause an electric shock and that this is achieved without relying on an earthed metal casing. This is usually

achieved at least in part by having at least two layers of insulating material between live parts and the user, or by

using reinforced insulation.

The designation "Class II" should not be confused with the designation "Class 2", as the latter is unrelated to

insulation (it originates from standard UL 1310, setting limits on maximum output voltage/current/power).

3.3

Personal Safety

•

Always wear protective equipment when operating a power tool. Proper protective equipment such as a dust mask,

ear protection, and gloves will reduce personal injuries.

•

Proper workwear; Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, and clothing away from all moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

•

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on and ensure that the accessoriesare secure

and correctly fitted.

•

Always ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to the power source, picking up or carrying the tool.

Always use two hands to hold the tool when operating.

•

Keep a proper stance and balance at all times and do not overreach - especially on large objects/ surfaces.

•

Ensure bystanders are kept at a safe distance from the work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear

personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or a broken accessory may fly off and cause

injury beyond the immediate area of operation.

Correct Usage

•

Use the power tool and the accessories in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

•

This tool is designed to be used for cutting, grinding and/or specific sanding operation Note all the

warnings, instructions, indications provided on drawings and specifications supplied with this tool and in

this manual.

•

The tool must be used with the accessories that have been specifically designed or recommended by the

manufacturer.

•

The rated speed of the accessories must be at least equivalent to the maximum speed specified on the tool.

Using the accessories at speeds above the rated specifications may cause them to break or be projected

into the air or damage the workpiece or the operator

•

Hold power tool by insulated surfaces only with both hands when cutting or grinding. Accessories contacting a

"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

•

Never lay the power tool down before the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory

may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control or potentially damage the tool and work surface.

•

Regularly clean the power tool's air vents, by using an air duster. Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power

supply.

•

Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials

Tool & accessory use and care

•

Avoid forcing the power tool into the material. Allow the power tool to do the job for which it was designed for.

•

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing

power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

•

Never leave power tools unattended and store them away when not in use.

•

Thediameterandthicknessofthediscsusedmustcorrespondtothespecificationsofthetool.Otherdiscs will not be adequately

guarded and cannot be used in a controlledmanner.

•

Maintaining your power tool: Check for misalignment binding of moving parts, broken or damaged parts

and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation and user's safety. If damaged, have the

power tool repaired before use.

•

Do not use damaged discs. Before use, inspect the disc for damage such as chipping, cracks, excessive wear

and loose parts. If the tool is dropped, the affected disc must also be checked. After inserting the disc onto the

angle grinder, run the grinder at maximum speed and check if all is in order. Do not stand or allow other people

close by to stand in the midst of the rotating disc.

•

After switching the angle grinder off, wait for the disc to come to a complete stop before putting it down. The rotating disc could

come into contact with the surface and move the tool in an uncontrolled manner.

•

Do not use accessories that are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just

because the accessory can be attached to the power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

6.2

Operation

•Note: ensure proper PPE are worn during operation.

6.2.1

Grinding and Sanding

•Firmly hold the tool and turn it on and let it reach optimal speed, then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.

•In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle of about 15° to the workpiece surface.

•For any new wheel disc, do not work the grinder in a forward direction as it may cut into the workpiece. Once the

edge of the wheel has been rounded off by use, the wheel is now ready to be worked in both forward and backward

direction.

•

Never force or apply excessive pressure when sanding. The weight of the tool for pressure is sufficient. Excess

pressure will slow down the tool. Coarser grit disc can be used to achieve a faster material removal rate.

6.2.2

Abrasive cutting discs/diamond blades

•

Feed the machine in line with the blade, avoid a sawing action

•

Note that diamond blades usually require less feeding pressure than abrasive discs

6.2.3 Wire cup and wheel brushes

•Don’t apply excessive pressure when using wire brushes, as this may prevent the tips from hitting the surface but rather

cause the side of the wire to whip the surface. This reduces cleaning action.

•Slowly move your way around the surface, avoid brushing over sharp edges and corners as this may cause damage to

the brush.

Maintenance

•

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.

7.1 Before starting the grinder

Ensure that:

•

The power supply cable and plug are in perfect condition.

•

The ON/OFF switch works properly with the power supply disconnected.

•

All the parts of the tool have been assembled properly and that there are no signs of damage.

•

The ventilation slots are not obstructed.

•

Regularly clean the casing of the tool, use a damp cloth to wipe down.

•

Compressed air can be used to remove dust and debris that might clog the cooling fan. Blow through the air vents to remove

dust and debris.

•

Regularly inspect the carbon brushes. In case the brushes are worn out, they will require replacement.

•

Brushes shorter than 5 mm long would require replacement. Dust is one of the leading factors that cause brushes to wear out

prematurely, especially if you are working on abrasive concrete.

•

After installing the replacement carbon brushes, allow them to run without load for some minutes

•

Ensure the ON/OFF switch is working properly at all times.

•

Ensure to use the correct attachment or disc for your angle grinder and ensure it is correctly fitted as this will improve the

tool’s performance.

•

Check the power supply cord for any possible breakages or cuts. In case of any damage have this repaired before use.

•

Inspect the auxiliary handle to check that the mounting hole is clean, not damaged, and the handle can be tightened

properly.

•

Concrete or metal dust might accumulate in the gearbox. Inspect the gearbox for any dust and wipe it off. Note that the gearbox

can get hot after use.

•

In the case of overheating, simply reduce the load from the tool. Don’t turn off the tool, let it run at a normal/standard speed to

promote cooling.

Warning:

Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power supply before making any

adjustments or maintenance procedures.
