OPERATION
WARNING:
It should never be necessary to
force the tool.
The weight of the tool applies ade-
quate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure
could cause dangerous wheel breakage.
WARNING:
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is
dropped while grinding.
WARNING:
NEVER hit the workpiece with the wheel.
WARNING:
Avoid bouncing and snagging the
wheel, especially when working corners, sharp
edges etc.
This can cause loss of control and kickback.
WARNING:
NEVER use tool with wood cutting
blades and other saw blades.
Such blades when
used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of
control leading to personal injury.
CAUTION:
Never switch on the tool when it
is in contact with the workpiece, it may cause an
injury to operator.
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles or a
face shield during operation.
CAUTION:
After operation, always switch off
the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a
complete stop before putting the tool down.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with
one hand on housing and the other on the side
grip (handle).
NOTE:
A dual purpose wheel can be used for both
grinding and cutting-off operations.
Refer to the "Grinding and sanding operation" for
grinding operation, and refer to the "Operation with
abrasive cut-off / diamond wheel" for cutting-off
operation.
Grinding and sanding operation
Fig.29
Turn the tool on and then apply the wheel or disc to the
workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an
angle of about 15° to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not
work the grinder in forward direction or it may cut into
the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been
rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both
forward and backward direction.
Usage example: operation with cup-type diamond
wheel
Fig.30
Keep the tool horizontally and apply the entire cup-type
diamond wheel to the workpiece surface.
