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.
• Whenever a new disc has been fitted, always run the grinder at no load
speed to check for irregularities before beginning work.
GRINDING TIPS
WARNING: WHEN GRINDING, ONLY USE DISCS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
FOR GRINDING. YOU MUST NEVER USE CUTTING DISCS TO GRIND ANY
MATERIAL.
• 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.
MAINTENANCE
Before commencing any maintenance procedures, always ensure the
grinder is isolated from the electrical supply by switching off and removing
the plug from the power socket.
BEFORE USE
1. Always inspect the tool before use and ensure it is in top condition.
2. Ensure all fixing screws remain tight to ensure the grinder is in safe working
condition.
3. Ensure the grinding wheel or cutting disc is perfectly sound, free from
cracks or damage.
4. Inspect the power cable to ensure it is sound and free from cracks or bare
wires etc.
