WARNING:
To reduce the risk
of injury, electric shock and damage to
the tool, before starting any work, check
to determine if utility lines electricity, gas
or water supply lines are hidden in the

WARNING:
Firmly grasp the
body of the tool and the side handle
before starting.
GRINDING APPLICATION (Fig. 6)
Secure small workpieces in a vise or
clamp them to a workbench.
The key to efficient operation is controlling
the pressure and surface contact between
the grinding wheel and workpiece.
Start the angle grinder and let the motor
and grinding wheel build up to full speed.
Gradually lower the angle grinder until the
grinding wheel contacts the workpiece.
When grinding, keep a 10-15°angle
between the wheel and the workpiece;
Move the machine back and forth with
moderate pressure to avoid discoloring
the workpiece, overheating the workpiece
and creating ridges.
Remove the tool from the workpiece
before turning the tool off. Allow the tool
to stop completely before setting it down.
Never use a cut-off wheel to grind a work
piece.
Always hold the tool properly so that
sparks and grinding dust fly away from
the body.
WARNING:
Sparks are
generated when grinding metal. Take care
that no combustible material presented in
the area of flying sparks.
