Always
wear a good pair of industrial
gloves to avoid potential injury from
sparks and debris.
Always
keep the mains cable well away
from the tool. Ensure an adequate electrical
supply is close at hand so that the operation
is not restricted by the length of the cable.
Always
switch the tool OFF immediately
when the task is completed.
Always
ensure the grinding wheel or
cutting disc is fully tightened before use.
Always
ensure the wheel / disc is not
touching the work when switching ON.
Always
allow the Grinder to run briefly
before using. Check for vibration which
could indicate poor balance or
installation of the wheel/disc.
Always
hold the tool firmly in BOTH hands
(as shown in figure (1)).
Never
use excessive force. It should only
be necessary to use a little more than the
weight of the tool. If the rotational speed
drops abnormally, reduce pressure
immediately. Forcing the tool and excessive
pressurecan cause dangerous disc
breakage and/or damage to the tool.
Never
allow the ventilation slots in the
tool to become blocked.
Never
use the tool with the guard
removed. If the guard becomes
damaged, it should be replaced
Never
use the tool in a confined space
which may limit body movement.
Use only
wheels/discs designed for their
specific function.(see page 10)
Beware
of flying sparks. Hold the grinder
at an angle of 15 - 30
O
to the workpiece
surface(as shown in figure (2)).
