Working Hints For Your Angle Grinder
1. Always start at no load to achieve maximum speed then start working.
2. Do not force the disc to work faster, reducing the Disc’s moving speed means longer
working time.
3. Always work with a 15-30 angle between disc and workpiece. Larger angles will cut
ridges into the workpiece and affect the surface finish. Move the angle grinder across
and back and forth over the workpiece.
4. When using a cutting disc never change the cutting angle otherwise you will stall the
disc and angle grinder motor or break the disc. When cutting, only cut in the opposite
direction to the disc rotation. If you cut in the same direction as the disc rotation the
disc may push itself out of the cut slot.
5. When cutting very hard material best results can be achieved with a diamond disc.
6. When using a diamond disc it will become very hot. If this happens you will see a full
ring of sparks around the rotating disc. Stop cutting and allow to cool at no load speed
for 2-3 minutes.
7. Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Maintenance
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free
of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal
and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Trouble Shooting
Although your new angle grinder is really very simple to operate, if you do experience
problems, please check the following:
1. If your grinder will not operate check the power at the main plug.
2. If your grinder wheel wobbles or vibrates, check that outer flange is tight, check that
the wheel is correctly located on the flange plate.
3. If there is any evidence that the wheel is damaged do not use as the damaged wheel
may disintegrate, remove it and replace with a new wheel. Dispose of old wheels
sensibly.
4. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy, the wheel will soon become clogged
and will not grind effectively.
