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.
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.

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.
MaINtENaNcE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power
tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to
clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry
cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place.
Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all
working controls free of dust. Occasionally you
may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This
is normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Although your new angle grinder is really very
simple to operate, if you do experience problems,
please check the following:
1. If your grinder will not operate check the
power at the main plug.
2. If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates,
check that outer flange is tight, check that the
wheel is correctly located on the flange plate.
3. If there is any evidence that the wheel is
damaged do not use as the damaged wheel
may disintegrate, remove it and replace with a
new wheel. Dispose of old wheels sensibly.
4. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy,
the wheel will soon become clogged and will
not grind effectively.
