To use the sander
Attention
Do not turn sander on while disc is in contact with workpiece. Allow the drive to reach full
speed before starting. Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the main handle and
the other hand firmly around the auxiliary handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of the exposed blade as possible is facing
away from you. Be prepared for a series of sparks as the blade touches the metal.
For best tool control, material removal and minimal overloading, maintain an angle
between the wheel and the work surface of approximately 15°-30° during grinding and
10°-15° during sanding. Put light pressure on the abrasive discs for efficient operation.
Pushing too hard will result in a drop in speed and overloading and motor damage may
occur.
Be careful when working in corners as contact with the intersecting surface can cause
the tool to jump or twist. When grinding is complete, allow the workpiece to cool. Do not
touch the hot surface.
Overload
Overloading will cause damage to the motor of your tool. This can happen if it is
subjected to heavy use for long periods of time. In no case try to put too much pressure
on your angle sander to speed up your work.
Abrasive discs work more efficiently when light pressure is exerted, thus avoiding a drop
in speed. If your tool gets too hot, run it without load for 2-3 minutes until it has cooled
down to normal operating temperature.
Work tips
•
Your tool is useful both for cutting metals; for example, to remove screw heads,
as well as to clean/prepare surfaces; for example, before and after welding
operations.
• Different types of disc/cutter will allow the sander to meet various needs.
Typically, grinding wheels/cut-off wheels are available for mild steel, stainless
steel, stone, and brick. Diamond impregnated wheels are available for very hard
materials.
