Grinding
The key to effective operating is controlling the pressure and surface contact between the disc and the workpiece.
p WARNING! DO NOT switch the grinder on whilst the disc is in contact with the workpiece. Bring the rotating disc to the workpiece.
5.3.1. Allow the disc to reach full speed before starting to grind.
5.3.2. Grind flat surfaces with the disc at an angle of between 10 to 20 degrees to the workpiece. Too great an angle will cause a concentration
of pressure in one small area resulting in gouging or burning of the surface.
5.3.3. When grinding is complete allow the workpiece to cool. DO NOT touch the hot surface.
5.3.4. Unplug the grinder from the mains power supply, clean and store in a safe, dry, childproof area.
