weight of the tool applies adequate pressure.
Forcing and excessive pressure could cause
dangerous wheel breakage.

•
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.
