OPERATION
WARNING:
•
It should never be necessary to force the tool.
The weight of the tool applies adequate pres
-
sure. 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, espe
-
cially when working corners, sharp edges etc.
This can cause loss of control and kickback.
•
NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and
other saw blades. 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.

before putting the tool down.
Grinding and sanding operation
►
Fig.18
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° 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.
