• Grinding wheels can only be used according to its purpose.

• The side surface of the grinding wheel should not be used for 

cutting.

Cut-off grinding wheels are designed for removal of material 

with the disc edge. The influence of lateral forces on the grinding 
wheels may break them.

• Undamaged fastening flanges of a correct size and shape 

should always be used for a selected grinding wheel. 

Proper 

flanges support the grinding wheel and reduce the risk of its breaking. 
Flanges for cut-off wheels may differ from flanges designed for other 
grinding wheels.

• Do not use worn grinding wheels from larger power tools.

Grinding wheels for larger power tools are not designed for higher 
rotational speed, which is specific to smaller power tools. Thus, such 
grinding wheels may break.

Additional specific safety guidelines for cutting with a cut-off 
wheel

• Always prevent a cut-off wheel from seizure and avoid excessive 

pressure. Do not make too deep cuts. 

The overload of a cut-off 

wheel increases its load and tendency for seizure or locking, and thus 
may result in recoil or breaking of a cut-off wheel.

• Avoid areas in front of and behind a rotating cut-off wheel. 

When a cut-off wheel is moved onto a workpiece away from the 
operator, it may cause the power tool to kick back as a result of recoil, 
with a rotating cut-off wheel pointing directly towards the operator.

• When a cut-off wheel seizes or you take a break from work, 

switch off the power tool and wait until it comes to a complete 
stop. Do not attempt to remove a rotating cut-off wheel from a 
cutting place, since it may cause recoil.  

Find and eliminate a cause 

of seizure.

• Do not switch the power tool back on, if it is still sunk in a 

workpiece. Before you continue to cut, a cut-off wheel must 
reach its full rotational speed. 

Otherwise, a cut-off wheel may 

catch, spring back from a workpiece and cause recoil.

• Boards and large objects should be supported to reduce the 

risk of recoil caused by a seized cut-off wheel.

 Large objects may 

bend under their own weight. A workpiece should be supported from 
both sides, both near the cut line and its edge.

• Special caution should be exercised, when holes are cut in a 

wall or in confined spaces. 

 As a cut-off wheel sinks into a workpiece, 

it may cause the power tool to recoil, when it encounters a gas or water 
supply line, power conductors or other objects.

Specific safety guidelines for sanding with sandpaper

• Do not use too large sheets of sandpaper.  Always follow 

guidelines of a manufacturer, when the size of a sandpaper is 
selected.

 Sandpaper protruding beyond a grinding disc may cause 

injuries and result in locking and tearing of sandpaper, or recoil.

Specific safety guidelines for working with wire brushes

• It should always be remembered that pieces of wire are lost 

even during normal use. Do not overload wires by putting 
excessive pressure. 

Airborne pieces of wire may easily puncture thin 

clothing and/or skin.

• If a guard is recommended to be used, prevent a brush from 

touching the guard. 

A brush diameter for plates and pots may 

increase due to the pressure and centrifugal forces.

Additional safety guidelines

• Before connecting to the power source, always make sure the 

supply voltage is compatible with the value specified on the 
nameplate of the tool.

• Before the grinder is connected, always check the power cord. 

In case of damage, have it repaired in an authorised workshop.

• Before all installation works, the plug should be taken out of 

the receptacle.

• Grinding tools should be checked before each use. A grinding 

tool must be correctly fastened and should rotate freely. As 
part of the test, the tool should be switched on with no load 
for at least one minute in a safe position. Do not use damaged 
or vibrating grinding tools. Grinding tools should be round. 
Damaged grinding tools may break and cause injuries.

• Once a grinding tool is installed and before the grinder is 

switched on, check the grinding tool for correct installation and 
free rotations, and whether it does not catch the guard. 

• The spindle lock button can be activated, only when the grinder 

spindle does not move.

• In case of tools adapted for fastening of grinding wheels with a 

threaded opening, make sure the grinding wheel thread length 
is suitable for the spindle thread length.

• Always secure the workpiece. It is always preferable to secure 

the workpiece in a vice or other fastening tool than holding it 
in your hand.

• If own weight of the workpiece does not guarantee a stable 

position, it should be fastened.

• Do not touch cut-off and grinding wheels, before they cool 

down.

• Do not exert lateral pressure on the grinding or cut-off wheel.

• Do not cut a workpiece of a thickness larger than the maximum 

cutting depth of the cut-off wheel.

NOTE: The tools is intended for indoor works.

Despite using the construction, which is safe by design itself, 
protection means and additional safety features, there is always a 
residual risk of injuries during operation.

Protection class II 

DESIGN AND APPLICATION

The angle grinder is a hand-held power tool with the II class isolation. 
The power tool is driven with a single-phase, commutator motor, 
whose rotational speed is reduced by means of an intersecting axis 
gear. The power tool can used both for grinding and cutting. This type 
of power tools is widely used for removal of burrs from metal surfaces, 
weld surface processing, cutting light-wall tubes and other small 
metal objects etc. They are used in engineering industry, automotive 
and chemical industry. With the use of proper tools, the angle grinder 
can be used not only for cutting or grinding, but also for rust and paint 
coats removal.
The areas of its application include repair and construction works, not 
only related to metals. The angle grinder can also be used for cutting 
and grinding of construction materials, such as brick, paving stones, 
ceramic tiles, etc.

The power tool is designed for dry operation only and it must not 
be used for polishing. The power tool should be used according 
to its purpose.

Use inconsistent with its purpose

• Do not work materials that contain asbestos. 

Asbestos is 

carcinogenic.

• Do not work materials, whose dust is inflammable or explosive. 

During operation, the power tool produces sparks, which may ignite 
emitted vapours.

• Do not use cut-off wheels for grinding. 

The cut-off wheels are used 

to cut with its face, while grinding with lateral surface of such a cut-off 
wheel threatens with its damages and puts the operate in danger of 
injuries.
