WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
ANGLE GRINDER
Always start at no load to achieve maximum
speed then start working.
Do not force the disc to work faster, reducing
the Disc’s moving speed means longer working
time.
Always work with a 10-20 angle between disc and
work-piece. Larger angles will cut ridges into the
work-piece and affect the surface finish. Move the
angle grinder across and back and forth over the
work-piece.
When using a cutting disc never change the
cutting angle otherwise you will stall the disc
and angle grinder motor or break the disc. When
cutting, only cut in the opposite direction to the
disc rotation. If you cut in the same direction as
the disc rotation the disc may push itself out of
the cut slot.
When cutting very hard material best results can
be achieved with a diamond disc.
When using a diamond disc it will become very
hot. If this happens you will see a full ring of
sparks around the rotating disc. Stop cutting and
allow to cool at no load speed for 2-3 minutes.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or
clamped to prevent movement.
MAINTENANCE
Warning: Ensure the grinder is
disconnected from the mains power
supply before attempting any maintenance.
1. Keep the grinder ventilation slots clean and free
from obstructions. If available, blow compressed
air into the vents to clear any internal dust (safety
goggles must be worn when undertaking this
process).
2. Keep the outer case of the grinder clean and
free from grease. Do not wash with water or use
solvents or abrasive. Use only mild soap and
damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool. Never immerse any part of the
tool into a liquid.
3. Your angle grinder requires no additional
lubrication. There are no user serviceable parts in
