Page 3: General Safety Rules
GEnErAL SAFETY rULES WArninG: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • lead from lead-based paints, • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and • arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. - Page 4 17. MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS THE PROPER SIZE AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and tool overheating. Consult the extension Cord Chart for the correct size based on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If ever in doubt, use the next heavier wire gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. 18. SECURE THE WORK-PIECE. use clamps or a vise to hold the work-piece when practical. using clamps or similar mechanical device is safer than using your hand(s) and allows you to use both hands to operate the tool. Losing control of the work-piece can cause personal injury. 19. DON’T OVERREACH. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times; loss of balance can cause you to fall into the working machine, possibly causing an injury. 4.5 Amp, 4-1/2" Angle Grinder Operators Manual AAG45...
- Page 5 20. NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. An injury may occur if the machine is tipped or if you should unintentionally contact the cutting tool. 21. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed. forcing the tool could possibly damage the machine and may result in personal injury. 22. FEED THE WORK-PIECE IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION AND SPEED. feed the work-piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the work-piece in the same direction as the cutting tool rotates causes the work-piece to be thrown out at high speed. 23. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

Page 6: Guidelines For Using Extension Cords
EXTEnSiOn COrDS Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required minimum wire size. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. for example: a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size. Guidelines for Using Extension Cords • If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use. • Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. • Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas. 4.5 Amp, 4-1/2" Angle Grinder Operators Manual AAG45... - Page 7 Recommended Minimum Wire Gauge for Extension Cords (120 Volt) Nameplate Extension Cord Length Amperes 25 Feet 50 Feet 75 Feet 100 Feet 150 Feet 200 Feet (At Full Load) 0–2.0 2.1–3.4 3.5–5.0 5.1 –7.0 7.1–12.0 12.1–16.0 16.1–20.0 SPECiFiC SAFETY rULES FOr AnGLE GrinDErS WArninG: DO NOT allow familiarity with the Angle Grinder from repeated use replace strictly following all operating rules.

Page 8: Operation
INSTALLING THE SIDE HANDLE: WArninG: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before performing any work on the tool. your grinder is equipped with a three position side handle; it can be mounted on either the left, top or right side of the die cast gear housing. Generally, a right handed operator will grip the body the left side of the of the grinder with their right hand and grip the side handle, mounted to gear housing, with their left hand. The opposite gripping and side handle placement is generally used by a left handed operator. Occasionally, side handle placement needs to be changed to accommodate the requirements or restrictions of the operation being performed. To mount the side handle to the grinder, simply screw the handle into the threaded hole on the left, top or right side of the die cast gear housing. WHEEL GUARD ASSEMBLY: WArninG: It is not neccesary, nor is it recommended, to remove the wheel guard to replace grinding wheels. Removal of the wheel guard could result in a serious injury. ADJUSTING THE TOOL-LESS WHEEL GUARD: your grinder is equipped with a tool-less blade guard system. To position the guard relative to the task being performed, simply rotate the guard left or right to the desired position. The wheel guard covers 50% of the grinding wheel at all times and should be positioned where as to maximize user protection from sparks and debris. 4.5 Amp, 4-1/2" Angle Grinder Operators Manual AAG45... - Page 9 INSTALLING OR REMOVING DEPRESSED CENTER GRINDING WHEELS: WArninG: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting, adding accessories, or checking a function on the tool. 1. Mount the inner flange with the machined side down onto the spindle. Slowly rotate the inner flange until it engages the corresponding machined “flats” on the spindle shaft. 2. Slide the wheel, depressed side down, over the spindle shaft and over the raised shoulders on the inner flange. 3. Screw the outer flange onto the spindle with the shouldered side down. 4. firmly depress the spindle lock so the spindle cannot revolve; then use the lock nut wrench, turning it clockwise, to securely tighten the outer flange. 5. To remove the wheel, follow the installation procedure in reverse. INSTALLING OR REMOVING AN ABRASIVE DISC: WArninG: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting, adding accessories, or checking a function on the tool. 1. Mount the optional rubber backing pad onto the spindle. 2. Place abrasive disc onto the spindle, then fit the disc onto rubber pad and begin to screw the outer flange onto the spindle. 3. firmly depress the spindle lock so that the spindle cannot rotate, then use the lock nut wrench and securely tighten clockwise. 4. To remove the disc, follow the installation procedure in reverse. GRINDING AND SANDING OPERATION: WArninG: Never force the tool; the weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. forcing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel breakage. ALWAyS replace the wheel if the tool is dropped while grinding.
