OPERATION 

 

WARNING: 

• 

It should never be necessary to force the tool. The 
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. 
Forcing and excessive pressure could cause 
dangerous wheel breakage. 

• 

ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while 
grinding. 

• 

NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto 
work. 

• 

Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, 
especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. 
This can cause loss of control and kickback. 

• 

NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and 
other sawblades. Such blades when used on a 
grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control 
leading to personal injury. 

CAUTION: 

• 

Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with 
the workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator. 

• 

Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during 
operation. 

• 

After operation, always switch off the tool and wait 
until the wheel has come to a complete stop 
before putting the tool down.

015097 

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing 
and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and 
then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece. 
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an 
angle of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface. 
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not 
work the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the 
workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been 
rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A 
and B direction.
