USING THE ANGLE GRINDER

This angle grinder is designed to accept only 

4-1/2" abrasive discs with a 5/8" bore.
Check to ensure that any discs used on
this machine are rated for the 12,000 /min
speed of this grinder. Check also for any
damage to an abrasive disc before install-
ing. Any disc that is cracked, has been
dropped, or subjected to other damage due

to temperature extremes or solvents should

be discarded. A damaged disc can fly apart

in use and may cause serious injury to the
operator or bystanders

1. Plug in the tool.

2. Hold the tool firmly with one hand on

the side handle and the other gripping
the housing. Check to make sure the

abrasive disc is not obstructed. Slide the

switch on the Top of the machine forward

with your thumb. Switching the tool on or

off under load will damage the switch.

NOTE 

For best tool control, material re-

moval and minimal loading, keep the 
angle between the disc and the work 

surface at approximately 30° when 

grinding and 10°-15° when sanding.

3. To turn the tool off, slide the switch back.

WARNING: Turn off your tool at once,

unplug and inspect it for serious
problems if:
• Moving parts get stuck

• Speed drops to an abnormally low level

• The motor housing gets hot

• Sparks or odors emit from the casing

 OPERATION

CARE & MAINTENANCE

WARNING 

Always turn power switch to 

"OFF" position and unplug power cord 
from electrical outlet before attempting 
cleaning or maintenance.

NOTICE 

This power tool is lubricated 

before it leaves the factory. This lubrica-
tion should last for the life of the tool. No 

further lubrication is required.

The armature and motor are the heart of the 

power tool. Exercise care to ensure they do not 

become damaged or effected by oil or water.

Inspect the carbon brushes regularly and replace 
them when they are worn. (about 1/3 of the way up)

Regularly inspect all mountings and screws and 
ensure they are properly tightened. Failure to do 
so may result in serious damage.

Consult an authorized maintenance service 
agent in event of damage.

Clean and dust the Angle Grinder after each use.

Use compressed air to blow out any 

accumulated dust or grit. Tiny particles from 
metal grinding often accumulate inside your tool 
and could create an electrical shock hazard.

Never use solvents or harsh chemicals. Use only 
mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. 

Never let any liquid get inside the casing. Never 

immerse any part of the tool in a liquid. Always 

keep the ventilation openings clear.

Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool 
using a soft brush or dry cloth.

1.

Do not cover exhaust vents when the Angle

Grinder is in use. This may cause damage

to the motor and reduce efficiency.

2. Guide back and forth over the work piece

in a steady motion.

3. When cutting avoid tilting the Angle Grinder

in the cutting plane. Ensure the cutting
wheel has a clean cutting edge.

4. To cut hard stone a diamond cutting wheel

is recommended.

5. Do nut use cutting wheel for rough grinding.
