WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury,
ALWAYS
hold securely in anticipation of
a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the side
handle, with the other hand on the body of the tool.
Grinding - (Fig. 13)
WARNING:
Always use the Grinding
guard. (E)
Secure all work before beginning any operation. Secure
small workpieces in a vice or clamp to a workbench.
The key to efficient operation is controlling the pressure
and surface contact between the grinding wheel and
workpiece.
ALWAYS
hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing
and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and
then apply the disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the disc at an angle of about
15 degrees to the workpiece surface. During the break-in
period with a new disc, do not work the grinder in the B
direction or it will cut into the workpiece. Once the edge
of the wheel has been rounded off by use, the wheel may
be worked in both A and B direction. (Fig. 13)
If the angle grinder is held in one spot too long, it will
gouge and cut grooves in the workpiece.
If the angle grinder is held at too sharp an angle, it will
also gouge the workpiece because of concentration of
pressure on a small area.
Use just enough pressure to keep the angle grinder from
chattering or bouncing. Heavy pressure will decrease its
speed and put a strain on the motor. Normally the weight
of the tool alone is adequate for most grinding jobs.
Use light pressure when grinding jagged edges or loose
bolts where there is the potential for the angle grinder to
snag on the metal edge.
Lift the angle grinder away from the workpiece before
turning the angle grinder off.
Rough Grinding - (Fig. 13)
NEVER
use a cutting disc for roughing.
The best roughing results are achieved when setting the
machine at an angle of 30° to 40°. Move the machine
back and forth with moderate pressure. In this manner,
the workpiece will not become too hot, does not
discolour and no grooves are formed.
Cutting Stone - (Fig. 13a)
The machine shall be used only for dry cutting.
For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting
disc. Operate the machine only with additional dust
protection mask.
Cutting Metal - (Fig. 13a)
WARNING:
For cutting with bonded
abrasives, always use the cutting guard. (M)
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to
the material being cut. Do not exert pressure onto the
cutting disc, tilt or oscillate the machine.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs
by applying sideward pressure.
The machine must always work in an up grinding
motion. Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed
uncontrolled out of the cut.
When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best to start at
the smallest cross section
MAINTENANCE
Please use only Trend original spare parts and
accessories.
The power tool has been designed to operate over a
long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/ installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can
cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result
in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure because
