Before putting the machine into operation, please read all the enclosed safety rules and
operating instructions.
– SAFETY GUARD –
The angle grinder comes
fi
tted with a miniature chainsaw blade and is ready for use.
The position of the safety guard has been rotated to the correct position.
DO NOT
REMOVE THE SAFETY GUARD WHEN USING THE CHAINSAW BLADE OR ANY
ACCESSORY AND ALWAYS OPERATE THEM WITH THE GUARD IN THE 23
o
TO 45
o
POSITION.
The risk of kickback or binding, however small, is greatly increased with no
safety guard. The guard also protects operator from broken grinding wheel fragments.
IF YOU REMOVE THE SAFETY GUARD, DON’T USE THESE ACCESSORIES.
We caution you not to force the accessories into the work piece.
Let the tool do the
work.
Use the correct accessories for your application.
Excessive force could cause
bearing failure in the head of the grinder.
The chain blades and carbide discs can be
used on their face, laterally and vertically to remove, shape, shave and etch wood.
A light motion works best.
– WARNING –
OVERHEATING
: Do not overwork the grinder.
If the unit overheats, switch it off and
allow it to cool. Failure to do so could burn out the motor. Also on a regular basis,
blow out the motor to prevent clogging which could contribute to overheating.
OVERTIGHTENING: Do not over tighten accessories or you could strip the
internal gear in the lock down switch of the aluminum gear head.
Use a gentle
touch to secure the accessory – not brute force! In the event of failure, contact King
Arthur’s Tools. Look after your tool and your tool will look after you!
