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.
WARNING:
ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is
dropped while grinding.
WARNING:
NEVER hit the workpiece with the wheel.
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 fre-
quently kick and cause loss of control leading to personal injury.
WARNING:
Never actuate the release lever of the
X-LOCK holder during operation. The X-LOCK wheel
comes off from the tool and may cause serious injury.
WARNING:
Make sure that the X-LOCK wheel
is fixed firmly.

Grinding and sanding operation
Turn the tool on and then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
B
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.
