Single speed with soft start
This grinder is fitted with soft start technology. This feature
operates when you start the tool by slowly increasing the
power, significantly reducing any “kick” when the grinder is
switched on reducing the strain on the user.
By reducing the switch on surge it also helps prolong the life
of the tool.
Switching on and off
This angle grinder can be used for grinding and cutting
steel, stone or ceramic workpieces such as pipe, box
sections, angle iron, steel bar, house bricks and tiles. Do
not attempt to grind wood or a soft metal such as lead. The
material will quickly “fill” the disc and render it useless.
1. Before starting the grinder, put on safety glasses and
check to make sure that the disc, guard and the tool are
in good condition and correctly fitted.
2. Plug the cordset into the power socket.
3. Hold the tool firmly in anticipation of the start up torque.
4. Push the lock-off catch (7) forward (Fig. F) and pull on
the on/off switch (6). (Fig. G)
5. Allow the grinder to
start and attain full speed before bringing the disc to the
workpiece.
6. To prevent a new grinding disc from digging into the
workpiece, first draw the grinder across the workpiece
towards the operator. Once the leading edge of the disc
is slightly worn down, grinding can be conducted in either
direction.
7. Once the grinding or cutting is finished, remove the disc
from the workpiece.
8. Release the on/off switch (6) to stop the grinder.
NOTE.
The disc continues to turn for a few seconds even
though the switch is turned off. Keep hands well away from
the moving disc.
WARNING.
Do not immerse the disc into any type of
lubricant including water. This angle grinder is designed as
a dry grinder/cutter. Failure to observe this warning could
result in a fatal shock.
Holding and guiding the tool
1. Always clamp the workpiece.
2. Do not overload the tool so that the disc slows down. Let
the tool do the work rather than applying pressure. The
weight of the tool alone provides sufficient pressure.
3. Cutting and grinding discs become very hot when in use.
Take care not to touch them until they have cooled down.
4. Hold the tool securely and make sure that you have full
control at all times.
5. During a cutting operation, maintain an angle of 30° to
40° between the tool and the workpiece.
6. During grinding, maintain an angle of 20° to 30° between
the tool and the workpiece.
Replacing a disc
CAUTION.
Switch off the grinder and disconnect it from the
power point.
Depressed Disc
