GENERAL OPERATION
1. For best control, hold the angle grinder firmly with one hand gripping the
side handle and the other gripping the body of the angle grinder.
2. Always position the guard so that the exposed grinding wheel is pointing
away from the operator.
3. After starting the tool, apply the grinding wheel to the workpiece.
4. Tilt the angle grinder at a 10 to 15° angle for easy handling and smooth
grinding (fig 7). This will make it easier to remove the wheel from the
workpiece and will prevent overloading.
5. When using a new grinding wheel, do not move the wheel in a forward
direction (A) on the workpiece. Doing so will cause the edge of the wheel
to cut into the surface of the workpiece. While grinding, the direction of
movement should be backward, toward the operator (B in fig 7).

INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
• Do not apply unnecessary pressure. The weight of the tool applies
adequate pressure. Excessive or sudden pressure will overload the
motor, cause a drop in the speed and put dangerous stress on the
grinding wheel, possibly causing breakage and injury.
