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
saw blades. 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.
