OPERATION
Make sure that the power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the specification plate of the machine and
that switch is "OFF" before connecting the tool to the power circuit.
Switching the machine on and off
To switch on:
While holding with the left hand on the column and the right hand on the main handle, press the switch to the
"ON" position. Anticipate and be ready for the start torque when the machine first starts.
To switch off:
Press the switch to the "OFF" position. After the machine has been switched off, the grinding wheel will still rotate
for a time. Take care that parts of your body do not come into contact with the wheel and do not set the machine
down while it is still rotating!
Adjusting the rotation speed:
The speed of the machine is variable to suit different tasks. It can be adjusted from 1700/min up to3500/min by
using the thumb wheel, turn in the downward direction to increase the speed and in the upward direction to
decrease the speed. Generally, you should use the higher speed for fast stock removal and the lower speed for
more precise control.
HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Effective control of this machine requires two-handed operation for maximum safety and control.
The proper hold is to keep one hand on the main handle and the other hand on the sponge grip on the column or
the bail handle. It is vitally important to keep stable footing at all times, especially when standing on scaffolding or
stilts.
GRINDING OPERATIONS
1. Once the machine and vacuum cleaner are set up and all safety measures and equipment are in place, begin
by turning on the vacuum cleaner and then the machine (If you are using a vacuum cleaner with integrated
switching, then simply turn the machine on.).
2. Begin grinding and contact the work surface with enough down force to keep the grinding head flat against
the surface.
3. The U-joint in the grinding head will allow the grinding wheel to follow the contours of the work surface.
