Safety24. ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR AIR VENT FULLY OPENED. Do not allow motor air vent to become blocked. Keep motor air vent open toallow the motor to cool.GRINDING EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES1. DO NOT FORCE GRINDER INTO THE WORK SURFACE: The machine will work faster, smoother and safer when used at the rate forwhich it was designed.2. BEWARE OF HIDDEN DANGERS IN CONCRETE: Be aware of hidden obtrusions.3. AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT TOOLING AND SHROUD: Do not touch the tooling and shroud without proper hand protection. The toolingand guard become hot during operation and remain hot after stopping the machine.4. CHECK TOOLING FOR DAMAGE: Do not use a damaged tool. After mounting tooling, rotate by hand to check for proper alignment.5. USE CORRECT TOOLING AND ACCESSORIES: Provide barriers or shields as needed to protect others from debris.6. USE PROPER ACCESSORIES: Do not force to do the job of a heavy-duty grinder. Do not use for improper applications.SPECIFIC SAFETY GUIDELINESCaution: Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.Contact with a live wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.• During machining, of metals in particular, conductive dust can form deposits inside the machine. This can lead to the transfer of electricalenergy onto the machine housing. This can mean a temporary danger of electric shock. This is why it is necessary when the machine isrunning to blow compressed air through the rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly, frequently and thoroughly. Here, the machinemust be held firmly.• It is recommended to use a stationary extraction system and to place a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) downstream.• If the angle grinder is deactivated by the GFCI circuit interrupter, the angle grinder must be checked and cleaned. Cleaning the motor, seemaintenance (Page 16).• Ensure that sparks produced during work do not constitute a risk to the user or other personnel and are not able to ignite inflammablesubstances. Endangered areas must be protected with flame-resistant covers. Make sure that fire-rick areas are always provided withsuitable fire extinguishers.• If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to supply the power to youtool. Electrician’s rubber gloves and footware will further enhance you personal safety.• When using grinding wheel attachments, the guard must always be attached to the tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the leastamount of wheel is exposed from the side the tool is being operated.• Grinding wheels or any other accessory must have a maximum safe operation speed greater than the “no load RPM” marked on the tool’snameplate.• Always use auxiliary handle for maximum control over torque reaction or kick-back. Operation of the grinder without the side handle couldcause loss of control of the grinder.• Before using a grinder or installing a new wheel, inspect the grinding wheel for chips and cracks. Remove bad wheels immediately. Runthe tool at no load for one minute, holding the tool in the direction away from people. Wheels with flaws will normally break apart duringthis time.• Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding wheels to avoid chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if tool is dropped whilegrinding. Do not use a wheel that may be damaged. Fragments from a wheel that burst during operation will fly away at great velocitypossible striking you or bystanders.• A damaged or cracked side handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective side handle.Fax: 763-535-8255 info@nationalequipment.com6
