GENERAL SAFETY RULES WORK AREA 1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite dust or fumes. 3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to loose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 1. Power tools must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery which may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. For best footing, wear rubber soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil, scrap wood, etc. 6. Concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be aware that accidents are caused by carelessness due to familiarity. 7. Switch the machine OFF immediately after the task is completed. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE 1. Do not force the machine.
ANGLE GRINDER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Before starting work, always consider that the use of hand held angle grinders for grinding and cutting operations can present risks to the user. Full observation of the safety instructions in this user guide is essential. 2. Always use the correct tool for the job. Never force a small angle grinder to do the job of a heavy tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended. 3. Always allow the angle grinder to run up to full operating speed before applying it to the job.
16. Do not allow bystanders (children or adults) to be nearby when using an angle grinder. 17. Ensure that sparks and particles resulting from grinding do not create a hazard. Use screens where appropriate. 18. Do not use the angle grinder without the disc guard. Make sure that the guard is securely fitted before operating the angle grinder. 19. For cutting, always feed the disc into the work so that an upcutting action is achieved. 20. Do not operate the spindle lock while the spindle is still spinning.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING! Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly before connecting the product to the mains supply. Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on 230VAC 50Hz.

OVERVIEW When unpacking, check for damage or shortages etc. Any found should be reported to your CLARKE dealer where the appliance was originally purchased.
BEFORE USE FITTING / ADJUSTING THE DISC GUARD WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE GRINDER IS SWITCHED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE FITTING OR REMOVING THE DISC. 1. Slide the disc guard over the end of the grinder as shown. 2. Rotate the guard to the required position and secure by tightening the screw into the square nut until the guard is clamped in place. The guard should be fitted to give maximum protection from the disc when fitted in the working position.
6. Press and hold the spindle lock and use the pin spanner to tighten the outer flange. Care should be taken also NOT to overtighten the outer flange. FITTING THE SIDE HANDLE 1. Fit the side handle by screwing it into the threaded hole on either left or right hand side of the angle grinder. OPERATION WARNING: FRAGMENTS FROM A BROKEN/DETACHED DISC CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE EYE & FACE PROTECTION. WARNING: WHEN USING CUTTING DISCS, DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH THE ROTATING DISC.
CUTTING TIPS • Do not force the disc through the material. Work with a feed rate that is suited to the material being cut. • Do not subject the cutting disc to sideways pressure. • The direction of the cutting motion is important. Always feed the cutting disc into the work so that it cuts in an upward direction. If you do not do this It can result in the disc climbing out of the cut in an uncontrolled manner and may lead to loss of control or serious injury.
CLEANING 1. Ensure all air ventilation slots are clear, (Use compressed air to clean the machine if possible. Always wear protective goggles when cleaning with compressed air). 2. Clean the exterior of the machine with a soft cleaning cloth. Never use any chemicals or harsh abrasives. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, which may be susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents.

VIBRATION EMISSIONS HAND-ARM VIBRATION Employers are advised to refer to the HSE publication “Guide for Employers”. All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is transmitted to the operator via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool. Vibration from about 2 to 1500 Hertz is potentially damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 Hertz.
You will note that a third value is given in the specification - the highest measured reading in a single plane. This is the maximum level of vibration measured during testing in one of the axes, and this should also be taken into account when making a risk assessment. ‘a’ values in excess of 2.5 m/s2 are considered hazardous when used for prolonged periods. A tool with a vibration value of 2.8 m/s2 may be used for up to 8 hours (cumulative) per day, whereas a tool with a value of 11.
