OPERATION

WARNING:
It should never be necessary to
force the tool. The weight of the tool applies ade-
quate pressure. Forcing and excessive pressure
could cause dangerous wheel breakage.
WARNING:
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is
dropped while grinding.
WARNING:
NEVER bang or hit grinding disc
or wheel onto work.
WARNING:
Avoid bouncing and snagging
the wheel, especially when working corners,
sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and
kickback.
WARNING:
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:
is in contact with the workpiece, it may cause an

Grinding and sanding operation
1
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° to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work the grinder
in forward direction or it may cut into the workpiece. Once the edge of
the wheel has been rounded off by use, the wheel may be worked in
both forward and backward direction.
Operation with abrasive cut-off /
diamond wheel
Optional accessory
WARNING:
excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel
increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting
or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility
of kickback, wheel breakage and overheating of the
motor may occur.
WARNING:
in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully enter into the cut moving the tool
forward over the workpiece surface. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
started in the workpiece.
WARNING:
change the angle of the wheel. Placing side pres-
sure on the cut-off wheel (as in grinding) will cause
the wheel to crack and break, causing serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING:
ated perpendicular to the material being cut.
