WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR ANGLE GRINDER
If your angle grinder becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor.
Never start your angle grinder with the disc/ accessory in contact with the
workpiece.
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.
When grinding, always work with a 30° to 40° angle between disc and workpiece.
Larger angles will cut ridges into the workpiece and affect the surface finish. Move
the angle grinder across and back and forth over the workpiece.
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 cooling at no
load speed for 2-3 minutes.
Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing
or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or
chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always
store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep
all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the
ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
