4. TO USE THE ROTARY HANDLE (See Fig. G)
The machine must always work in an upward motion.
Cutting in a downward direction is not recommended, it
is possible for it to be pulled out of control, out of the cut.
To best suit the different working positions, your angle
grinder is equipped with a turnable handle. Press the rear
of the locking button on the turnable handle (3) and you
can rotate the handle 90
to left or right. Then release the
0
locking button. A click will be heard, when the handle is
then fully locked in place.
WARNING! Make sure the handle in the locked
position before start the angle grinder. Rotating the
handle is permitted only in the switched off condition.

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. When grinding, always work with a 15-30º 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.
