ANGLE GRINDER
 INSTRUCTIONS:
The secret to successfully using an angle grinder is
choosing the right type of cutting disc. Avoid using
damaged or broken discs because they can throw out
fragments or shatter during usage, creating a dangerous
hazard. There is also a difference between cutting and
grinding discs. Cutting discs are thin and sharp and can’t be
used for grinding.
1. Make sure that the grinder is attached properly and the
bolts are tightened. This may come as strange to you,
but did you know that discs have an expiration date
too? This is because moisture and rust can damage the
disc.
2. Don’t push the disc in the material to force it to cut.
This can overload the power tool. Instead, angle the
grinder so that sparks are thrown in a different
direction from you, and allow the tool to develop
maximum speed and press it gently onto the material
you’re cutting. Keep the disc on 90 degrees all the
time and avoid twisting it because it can bend or break
3. Cut all the way through the material. Don’t stop
the
disc before you’re done because the disc can stick in
the material. Let the part you’re cutting fall on the
ground and stop the tool then. The part will be hot so
let it cool down for a few minutes before touching it.
 SAFTY:
1. Declutter the workspace Remove all tools, cables and
toolboxes from the area, you’re going to use the angle
grinder. This way, you’ll be comfortable moving
around without worrying if you’ll create a mess. Keep
the tools in an easy-to-access place in case you need
anything.
2. Be careful with the power cables Keep them behind
you so you won’t cut or damage them. Place them in
a position where you won’t trip in them.
3. Remove flammable substances Remove gasoline,
diesel, oils, paper and other flammable materials to
avoid fire hazards. The angle grinder produces sparks
while working, and they can ignite these materials.
4. Remove jewellery, earphones, strings and anything
that can get caught between the angle grinders
5. Have a fire extinguisher in hand Be prepared in case
of fire hazards. Having a suitable extinguisher for all
types of fires will prevent a lot of accidents.
6. Never work in a wet area Avoid working during rain
or in wet areas. Don’t use a tool if it’s not completely
dry no matter the situation.
7. Wear protective gear You should always wear
personal protective equipment to protect your eyes,
ears, lungs and hands. Safety goggles need to be worn
to protect your eyes from sparks and particles from
different materials. Clothing and goggles must be the
right size and fit you correctly. It’s recommended to
wear earplugs to protect your ears and thick gloves to
protect your hands from cuts, sparks and hot, sharp
metal edges.
