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, ie.for removing screw heads, and also
for cleaning / preparing surfaces, ie.before and after welding operations.
2. Different types of wheel/cutter will allow the grinder to meet various needs. Typically, grinding
wheels/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.
MAINTENACE
WARNING:
Ensure the grinder is disconnected from the mains power supply beofre
attempting any maintenance.
1. Keep the grinder ventilation slots clean and free from ocstructions. If available, blow compressed
air into the vents to clear any internal dust (safety goggles must be worn whrn undertaking this
process).
2. Keep the outer case of the grinder clean and free from grease, Do not wash with water or use
solvents or abrasive. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool. Never immerse any part of the too into a liquid.
3. Your angle grinder requires no additional lubrication. There are no user serviceable parts in your
powe tool.
4. Always store your power tool in a dry place.
5. If you see some sparks flashing in the ventilation slots, this normal and will not damage your power
tool.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really very simple to operate, if you do experience problems,
please check the following:
1. If you grinder will not operate, check the power at the mains 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 ues 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
