Operation (Fig. 5)
Instructions
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To minimize the danger
of serious personal injury, please
switch off the tool power and
disconnect all plugs before adjusting
or removing/installing any accessory.
Before reassembling the tool, press and
release the trigger switch to make sure
the tool is already switched off.
WARNING:
• Ensure all materials to be ground or
cut are secured in place.
• Use clamps or a vice to hold and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important
to clamp and support the workpiece securely
to prevent the movement of the workpiece
and loss of control. Movement of the
workpiece or loss of control may create a
hazard and cause personal injury
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
• Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both sides
of the wheel.
• Apply slight pressure to the tool. Do not apply
side pressure to the abrasive disc.
• Avoid overloading. If the tool becomes hot, let
it spin for a few minutes with no load.
1. Be sure to hold the tool tightly with hand. 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.
