OPERATION
1. STARTING OPERATION (See Fig. D)
Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental
starting. Depress the lock-off button (5) then the on/
off switch (4) and release the lock-off button (5). Your
switch is now on. To switch off, just release the on/
off switch (4).
2. TO USE THE GRINDER (See Fig. E)
ATTENTION! Do not switch the grinder on whilst
the disc is in contact with the workpiece. Allow
the disc to reach full speed before starting to grind.
Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the main
handle and other hand firmly around the auxiliary
handle.
Always position the guard so that as much of the
exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc
touches the metal.
For best tool control, material removal and minimum
overloading, maintain an angle between the disc and
work surface of approximately 15
Use caution when working into corners as contact with
the intersecting surface may cause the grinder to jump
or twist.
When grinding is complete allow the workpiece to cool.
Do not touch the hot surface.
3. CUTTING (See Fig. F)
WARNING! For cutting metal, always work with the
disc guard for cutting.
When cutting, do not press, tilt or oscillate the machine.
Work with moderate feed, adapted to the material being
cut.
Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting
discs by applying sideward pressure.
The direction in which the cutting is performed is
important.
The machine must always work in an up-grinding
motion. Therefore, never move the machine in the other
direction! Otherwise, the danger exists of it being pushed
uncontrolled out of the cut.
