OPERATION

WARNING:

• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel breakage.

• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while grinding.

• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto work.

• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kickback.

• NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury.

CAUTION:

• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the tool down.

Grinding and sanding operation

ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing and the other on the side handle. 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 degrees to the workpiece surface.

During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B direction.

Operation with diamond wheel (accessory)

WARNING:

• Forcing and exerting excessive pressure or allowing the wheel to bend, pinch or twist in the cut can cause overheating of the motor and dangerous kickback of the tool.

CAUTION:

• After cutting operation, make sure that the diamond wheel stops revolving completely. Then, place the tool. It is dangerous to place the tool before turning off the tool. If there are dust or dirt around the tool, the tool may suck in them.

Be sure that the wheel does not contact the workpiece. Turn the tool on and hold the tool firmly. Wait until the wheel attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed.
