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.
GRINDING TIPS
• The key to efficient grinding is to control the pressure and surface
contact between the grinding disc and the workpiece.
• Flat surfaces are ground at
an acute angle, usually 15
to 30 degrees to the
workpiece. Too great an
angle causes
concentration of pressure
on a small area which may
gouge, or burn the
workpiece.
• Allow the disc to reach full
speed before grinding.
• Avoid overloading the angle grinder. If it becomes hot when being
used, allow it to run for a few minutes under no-load conditions.
WARNING: WHEN GRINDING, ONLY USE DISCS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
FOR GRINDING. YOU MUST NEVER USE CUTTING DISCS TO GRIND ANY
MATERIAL.
