Application

Disconnect the plug from the power source or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Keep the power cord away from the grinding wheel and the material being ground/cut.
  

• Batteries require inspection to show no visible damage due to dropping
• Ensure battery has been fully charged
• Ensure battery has been stored in temperatures between 32 - 113 °F or 0 - 45 C°

Guards must be provided and adjusted properly as per the instruction manual. Replace damaged guards before using the grinder, because if an abrasive wheel breaks while rotating, it can cause a serious injury.

Note: Use the corrcet guard based on application [grinding, cutting] and per local regulation

Side handle should be installed on the guarded side of the tool. Ensure side handle is not installed on open side of guard.

Do not use a damaged accessory. Inspect the accessory before each use. Inspection could include examples such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires, diamond disc for missing segments. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory if neccessary.

• Do not use a wheel with a maximum RPM that is lower than the RPM rating of the grinder. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
• The maximum speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) is marked on every wheel. Never exceed this speed.
• Bonded wheels have an expiration date. DO NOT use if the wheel is expired.

NOTE: Use regional conversions for m/s or RPM’s, etc.

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, does not mean it should be used. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories.

• Do not force wheels onto a grinder that is the wrong size or change mounting hole sizes
• 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.
• Do not use worn down wheels from larger grinders. A wheel intended for larger grinder are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller grinder and may burst.

NA NOTE: The standard spindle size is 5/8”x11. The arbor size is 7/8”. The accessories are marked with the arbor size and not the spindle size.
For large angle grinders, the standard spindle size is 5/8”x11 and the arbor size is 7/8”. They require an adapter backing flange for large wheels.

EU NOTE: The standard metric spindle size is M14x2.0. The arbor metric size is 20mm. The accessories are marked with the arbor size and not the spindle size.

Clamp the workpiece if it is not secure under its own weight. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight, so supports should be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel

• Workpiece/ area must always be in front of the user
• Ensure proper positioning of guard
• Ensure proper positioning of user

Make sure the work area is clear of flammable materials and combustible dust is not allowed to accumulate. Grinders create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Ensure the area is well ventilated

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a grinder. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Never use a grinder with one hand. Always use with the side handle attached.

Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel 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

Use a dust extractor and dust mask when using grinder when working with stone materials

When working with materials, especially metals, heat in the form of friction is generated during cutting and grinding.

• Do not use any liquid coolants with portable grinders.

• Do not put the grinder on the floor or working surface until the wheel has stopped turning. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control

Disconnect the plug from the power source or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally

Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or activating power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow inviduals unfamiliar with the power tool or all instructions to operate the power tool. Grinders are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Flanges must never be reversed

• Mount properly the wheel using spindle lock and provided spanner wrench
• Do not tighten the mounting nut excessively. Thread the wheel on the machine and hand tighten using provided spanner wrench. Don't use power tools to put the wheel on, as removal will be difficult, and the wheel can be damaged.

Place the accessory on the X-LOCK accessory mount, by aligning the shape of the accessory X-LOCK mounting hub with the X-LOCK accessory mount on the grinder.

Push the accessory in X-LOCK accessory mount. The accessory audibly clicks as the clamping tabs lock into place.

Check that the edge of the accessory X-LOCK Mounting Hub is correctly engaged in the slots X-LOCK clamping tabs. If the top surface of the accessory X-LOCK mounting hub is higher than the “V” shaped clamping height gage (located on each side of the X-LOCK accessory mount), the X-LOCK accessory must not be used until this condition is eliminated by cleaning the X-LOCK accessory mount or replacing the accessory.

NOTE:

Do not attempt to pull the wheel release lever until the wheel has come to a complete stop.
