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.
