GRINDING
Always
select and use grinding discs that
are recommended for the material to be
ground. Make sure that the minimum
operating speed of the grinding disc
selected is
not less than
11,000 RPM.
Secure all work before beginning the
grinding operation.
Secure small workpieces in a vice or clamp
to a workbench.
WARNING:
Never use your
grinder with the guard removed. It has
been designed for use only with the
guard installed. Attempting to use the
grinder with the guard removed will
result in loose particles being thrown
against the operator resulting in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Never use your
grinder without eye protection.
Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
The efficient operation of the angle grinder
begins by controlling the pressure and
surface contact between the grinding disc
and the workpiece. Flat surfaces are
ground at an acute angle, normally
between 5 and 15 degrees
(Fig. 9).
For maximum control, hold the grinder in
front and away from you with both hands,
keeping the grinding disc clear of the
workpiece. Start your grinder and let the
motor and grinding disc build up to full
speed. Gradually lower the grinder until the
grinding disc contacts the workpiece.
