230mm Angle Grinder
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 avail-
able for mild steel, stainless steel, stone and
brick. Diamond impregnated discs are avail-
able 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.
7. If cutting a slot in stone or brick it is advisable
to use a diamond cutting disc.
