Check the tool is working before use, allow it run
for a few minutes to enable the brushes to settle.
For replacement carbon brush call the helpline
number at the front of this instruction booklet.
8. OVERLOAD
Overloading will cause damage to the motor of
your angle grinder. This can happen if your angle
grinder is subjected to heavy use for prolonged
periods of time.
Do not in any circumstances, attempt to exert too
much pressure on your angle grinder to speed up
your work.
The abrasive discs operate more efficiently when
light pressure is exerted, thus avoiding a drop in
the speed of your angle grinder.
If your angle grinder becomes too hot, run your
angle grinder under no load for 2-3 minutes until
it has cooled to normal operation temperature.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
ANGLE GRINDER
1. Your angle grinder is useful for both cutting
through metals, i.e. for removing screw heads,
and also for cleaning / preparing surfaces, i.e.
before and after welding operations.
2. Different types of wheel/cutter will allow the
grinder to meet various needs. Typically, grinding
wheels and cutting discs are available for mild
steel, stainless steel, stone and brick. Diamond
impregnated discs are available for very hard
materials.
3. If the grinder is used on soft metals such as
aluminum the wheel will soon clog and will have
to be changed.
4. At all times, let the grinder do the work, do not
force it or apply excessive pressure to the wheel/
disc.
5. If cutting a slot ensure that the cutter is kept
aligned with the slot, twisting the cutter may
cause the disc to shatter. If cutting through thin
sheet, only allow the cutter to just project through
the material, excessive penetration can increase
the chance of causing damage.
6. If cutting stone or brick, it is advisable to use a
dust extractor.
