and applicable regulations.
Warning: To minimize the danger of serious
personal injury, please switch off the adjusting or
emoving/installing any accessory. Before
reassembling the tool, press and release the trigger
switch to make sure the tool is already switched off.
Warning:
• Make sure all materials to be grinded are secured in

few minutes with no load.
1. Be sure to hold the tool tightly with both hands (one hand on
housing, the other on side handle). Start the tool and bring
the grinding wheel on the workpiece.
2. Keep the edge of the wheel tilted at angle from 15 to 30
degrees against the surface of the workpiece.
3. When using a new grinding wheel, do not operate the wheel
in the B direction, otherwise, it will cut into the workpiece.
When the edge of wheel has been rounded off, you are free
to operate the grinder in either the A or B direction.
Starting and stopping (Fig. 1)
Warning: Before using the tool, check whether the
handle is tightened securely. Check whether the
ON/OFF switch is working normally.
Before plugging in the tool to the power supply, check whether
the switch is in the OFF (o) position when pressing the rear end
of the switch.
To start the tool, press the rear end of the switch and slide it
forward. Then press the front end of the switch to lock it. Press
the rear end of the switch to stop the tool.

(figure 1), with the other hand on the body of the tool, as shown
in figure 6.
Switches
Caution: Hold the body of the tool firmly to maintain
control of the tool at start up and during use and until
the wheel or accessory stops rotating. Make
sure the wheel has come to a complete stop before laying the
tool down.
Note: To reduce unexpected tool movement, do not switch the
tool on or off while under load conditions. Allow the grinder to
run up to full speed before touching the work surface. Lift the
tool from the surface before turning the tool off. Allow the tool to
stop rotating before putting it down.
