9. Overload
Overloading will cause damage to the motor
of your angle grinder. This can happen if your
angle grinder is subjected to heavy use for
prolonged periods of time.
Never attempt to exert too much pressure on
your angle grinder to speed up your work.
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 it no
load for 2-3 minutes until it has cooled to normal
operation temperature.
10. Disposal of an exhausted battery pack
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or
dispose of the battery pack properly. This battery
pack contains Lithium batteries. Consult your
local waste authority for information regarding
available recycling and/or disposal options.
Discharge your battery pack by operating your
drill, then remove the battery pack from the drill
housing and cover the battery pack connections
with heavy duty adhesive tape to prevent short
circuit and energy discharge. Do not attempt to
open or remove any of the components.
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 battery 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Although your new angle grinder is really
very simple to operate, if you do experience
problems, please check the following:
1. If your grinder disc wobbles or vibrates, check
if the outer flange is tightened or if the disc is
correctly located on the flange plate.
2. Do not use the damaged disc as it may
disintegrate. Remove it and replace with a new
disc. Dispose of old disc sensibly.
3. If working on aluminum or a similar soft alloy,
the disc will soon become clogged and will not
grind effectively.
4. A small amount of battery pack leakage may
occur under extreme temperatures or after
heavy use. Immediately wash any leakage from
hands, skin or clothes with soap and water.
5. The power-draw from the battery generates
heat. This is increased as the energy draw
increases. You will not damage the battery
pack and the generated heated heat is normal.
Should you desire to cool it down, simply allow
the drill to cool off prior to continuing work.
6. The battery pack may get warm when
charging. This is normal. It is a result from the
stepping down of the chemical reactions inside
the batteries during the charging process.
7. The charger will get warm during charging.
This is normal. It is a result of the stepping down
of the main supply.
