piece. Always ensure you grip at least 80 mm in the
vice jaws to ensure security while grinding.

while being cut.
Ŷ A power spike causes voltage fluctuations and may
affect other electrical products in the same power
line. Connect the product to a power supply with an

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR FITTING AN ABRASIVE
WHEEL
Ŷ To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and
comply with instructions, warnings and operator’s
manual before starting to use this abrasive wheel.
Failure to heed these warnings can result in wheel
breakage and serious personal injury. Save these
instructions.
Ŷ The use of any wheel other than the one recommended
in the machine instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury. Use only abrasive wheels which have
marked speed equal or greater to that marked on the
machine.
Ŷ Never use abrasive wheel that is too thick to allow outer
flange to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger
wheels will come in contact with the wheel guards,
while thicker wheels will prevent the bolt from securing
the wheel on the spindle. Either of these situations
could result in a serious accident and can cause serious
personal injury.
Ŷ This abrasive wheel is for ferrous metal cutting only. Do
not attempt to cut wood or masonry with it. Never cut
magnesium or magnesium alloy with it.
Ŷ This abrasive wheel is only suitable for dry cutting, and
