OPERATION (cont.)
MAINTENANCE
Basic grinding procedure
First ensure the work piece is securely held down (by both sides of the work piece if
possible). Turn on the angle grinder and proceed to start grinding your work piece
gently - do not “bump” the grinding disc on your work piece as this may damage
your grinding disc. The optimal grinding position is to hold your grinder at
approximately 10-15º to your work piece and grind slowly. This will assist you and
prevent deep gouging.
TCT & Multi cutting blades
Warning!
The use of TCT & multi cutting blades is not recommended with angle
grinders.
Using such blades with angle grinders is very dangerous when used by an inexperienced
operator. TCT and multi cutting blades can catch on the material being worked and
cause the grinder to kick back (be thrown) out of the users hands. Potentially this could
result in serious injury to the operator and/or the material being worked on. Ozito does
not recommend using these types of blades with the angle grinder.
•
Keep ventilation slots of the grinder clean at all times and prevent any foreign
matter from entering.
•
If the enclosure of the grinder requires cleaning do not use solvents but a moist
soft cloth only.
•
The grease in the gearbox will require replacement / replenishment after extensive
use of the grinder. Please see a qualified electrical repairer to provide this service.
•
Blow out the unit through the rear ventilation slots with compressed air
periodically to ensure a dust free area around the switch.
•
Carbon brushes should be replaced before they wear out. Both carbon brushes
should be replaced at the same time.
•
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
•
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents and/or the tool
FAILING to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn down and need
to be replaced. Carbon brushes should only be replaced by a
qualified eletrician or power tool repairer.
Replacement carbon brushes can be ordered from Ozito
through your local Bunnings warehouse special orders desk.
