the grinder to jump or twist.When grinding is complete allow the workpiece to cool. Do
not touch the hot surface.
6.
WHEEL GUARD FOR CUTTING AND CUTTING DISC ARE NOT SUPPLIED.
Warning! For cutting metal, always work with the wheel guard for cutting.
When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the machine. Work with moderate feed,
adapted to the material being cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by applying sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed is important.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding motion. Therefore, never move the
machine in the other direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed
uncontrolled out of the cut.
7.
OVERLOAD
Overloading will cause damage to the motor of your angle grinder. This can happen if
your angle grinder is subjected to heavy use for prolonged periods of time.
Do not in any circumstances, attempt to exert too much pressure on your angle
grinder to speed up your work.
If your angle grinder becomes too hot, run you angle grinder under no load for 2-3
minutes until it has cooled to normal operation temperature.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR ANGLE GRINDER
1. Your angle grinder is useful for both cutting through metals, i.e. for removing screw
heads, and also for cleaning /preparing surfaces, i.e. before and after welding
operations.
2. Different types of wheel/cutter will allow the grinder to meet various needs.
Typically, grinding wheels and cutting discs are available for mild steel, stainless steel,
stone and brick. Diamond impregnated discs are available for very hard materials.
3. If the grinder is used on soft metals such as aluminum the wheel will soon clog and
will have to be changed.
4. At all times, let the grinder do the work, do not force it or apply excessive
pressure to the wheel/disc.
5. If cutting a slot ensure that the cutter is kept aligned with the slot, twisting the
cutter may cause the disc to shatter. If cutting through thin sheet, only allow the cutter
to just project through the material, excessive penetration can increase the chance of
causing damage.
6. If cutting stone or brick, it is advisable to use a dust extractor.
